Description
This configuration step is required to make sure a Solaris host has all the required software for provisioning InfiniBox volumes.
Manual configuration guide
Recommended settings
There are different settings recommended depending on the connectivity between the host and the InfiniBox systems. Fibre channel connectivity requires one set of installed packages and iSCSI connectivity requires a different set of installed packages.
Fibre Channel connectivity
To verify the host is ready to work with InfiniBox systems using fibre channel connectivity, run the following commands:
export PACKAGE_REQUIREMENTS="SUNWluxop SUNWfcprt SUNWmpathadm" pkginfo -i `echo $PACKAGE_REQUIREMENTS`
and expect the following output:
system SUNWfcprt Fibre Channel HBA Port utility system SUNWluxop Sun Enterprise Network Array firmware and utilities system SUNWmpathadm Solaris Multipathing CLI
iSCSI connectivity
To verify the host is ready to work with InfiniBox systems using iSCSI connectivity, run the following commands:
export PACKAGE_REQUIREMENTS="SUNWmpathadm SUNWiscsir SUNWiscsiu" pkginfo -i `echo $PACKAGE_REQUIREMENTS`
and expect the following output:
system SUNWiscsir Sun iSCSI Device Driver (root) system SUNWiscsiu Sun iSCSI Management Utilities (usr) system SUNWmpathadm Solaris Multipathing CLI
Manual fix
If the one or more packages are missing, install them with pkgadd command.
