Before installing StorNext on a Solaris machine, verify that the following installation prerequisites have been met. StorNext supports Solaris 9 and 10 only.
•Mapping LUNs - Before installing StorNext, it is necessary to correctly map LUNs in the customer SAN.
A LUN is assigned to each device (target) that is visible locally and over the SAN. The process of LUN mapping depends on many factors, including the operating system on which StorNext is running, the type of SCSI card installed on the machine, and the type of FC HBA installed on the machine.
For each HBA, check the vendor documentation to determine the operating system files that must be configured to correctly map LUNs to devices over the SAN. Configure the operating system files as indicated below:
•Edit the sd.conf, st.conf, and the sgen.conf files and use the pkgadd command to install the specific Fibre Channel HBA driver.
For additional requirements, see 2TB LUN Requirements on page 11.
For assistance configuring the operating system files, contact ATAC. Refer to Customer Assistance on page 97.
