Reboot the server using the reboot - - -rcommand so the HBA can see

 

 

 

 

 

 

the targets (SPs).

 

 

 

 

 

Checkpoint - Verify that each HBA sees only the targets (SPs) to which it

is zoned.

 

 

 

 

 

Checkpoint - Use the inquiry option of the format command to verify that

 

 

 

 

 

 

each path to the storage system has one arraycommpath device with an

 

 

 

 

 

 

ID of drive type unknown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The output of this command should be Vendor DGC, Product LUNZ.

 

 

 

 

 

Checkpoint - Use Navisphere Manager’s Connectivity Status dialog box

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

 

 

 

 

 

Reboot the server using the reboot - - -rcommand so that Solaris

 

 

 

 

 

 

recognizes the LUNs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

Checkpoint - Use the format command to verify that Solaris recognizes

If Solaris does not recognize any LUNs, verify the server’s connection to
