Configuration
After SAN Manager LM is installed on a Sun Solaris node, the node must be added to the SAN Manager LM database. This is done through the SAN Manager LM administration application, which must be run on a Windows NT node, preferably one that is configured as a primary domain controller.
Adding a Node to the Database Automatically
If the Solaris node is running an application that includes NetBIOS support (Samba, for example), the Solaris node will be discovered and added to the SAN database when the SAN Manager LM administration application is started on a Windows NT node. Starting the application automatically initiates a scan for all nodes and devices found on the SAN. If a node is not added automatically, follow the procedure for adding nodes manually, see the following section.
Note When adding Sun nodes to the database, be sure to run SAN Manager LM on a Windows NT node that has an updated Hosts file. For more information, see the
Adding a Node to the Database Manually
1.Obtain the node’s host name or IP address.
–To get the host name of a Solaris node, enter the command: uname
–To get the IP address of a Solaris node, enter the command: ifconfig
2.On a SAN Manager LM Windows NT node, run the SAN Manager LM application.
3. Select Database Add Node.
