LUNZs.

 

 

 

Note: LUNZs are required to register the server HBAs with the storage

 

 

 

system because LUNs have not be configured yet.

 

 

 

Checkpoint - Make sure the file for the HBAs, in the /proc/scsi directory,

 

 

 

has entries for the expected targets (HBAs).

Storage System

Use Navisphere Manager to set general storage-system properties.

Use Navisphere Manager to create RAID Groups, bind LUNs, create

Storage Groups, and assign LUNs to Storage Groups.

 

 

 

Use Navisphere Manager to connect the server to a Storage Group

 

 

 

Reload the driver (if the driver is loaded as a module) or reboot the server

HBA documentation

 

 

(if the driver is static to the kernel) so that Linux recognizes the LUNs.

(see URL on page 3-4)

 

 

Now the LUNs in the Storage Group look like any other disks in the server.

 

 

 

Checkpoint - Make sure all LUNs have entries in the /proc/scsi/scsi

directory and in the file for the HBAs in the /proc/scsi directory.

 

 

 

If any LUN entries are missing from the file, verify the zoning.

Server

Make sure you have 128 sd and sg devices in the /dev directory.
