▼To Rezone a Sun StorEdge T3 Array to Host B

1.If necessary, configure all paths to the Sun StorEdge T3 array using the cfgadm - c configure command.

This will create device nodes. Perform this step if the Sun StorEdge T3 array is connected in a name server zone and is accessed by a host port connected to a switch F-port. For additional information, refer to “Creating On-Demand Device Nodes on Hosts for Fabric Configurations” on page 89 of Chapter 8

2.Import any Volume Manager disk groups.

3.Mount any existing file systems available on the Sun StorEdge T3 LUNs or disk groups.

Adding a Sun StorEdge A5200 Array

You can only add Sun StorEdge A5200 arrays to a SL zone.

Use the luxadm insert_device command to hot swap a new disk drive, enclosure, or chain of enclosures. If you specify more than one enclosure, you can perform concurrent hot swapping on multiple buses.

The insert_device command interactively guides you through the hot swapping of one or more devices. For further information, see the luxadm (1M) man page.

In the disk array, the insert_device command performs the following functions:

■Sends notice when the device can be safely inserted

■Requests confirmation that the list is as expected

■Creates the logical device names for the new devices

■Displays the logical path name for the devices
