Description
This guide explains how to provision InfiniBox volumes and obtain their information on a Solaris host.
This is a manual configuration step that is currently not supported in Host Power Tools.
Manual guide
Volume provisioning
Before you continue, make sure that there is an FC connectivity to InfiniBox.
- You should create a Host object in InfiniBox, with your host's WWN's using InfiniBox UI or Infinishell.
- You can now create volumes and map them to your host using InfiniBox UI or Infinishell.
List available InfiniBox volumes
To list InfiniBox luns, run:
cfgadm -lao show_SCSI_LUN | head -n 1 cfgadm -lao show_SCSI_LUN | grep disk | grep unknown | grep 5742b0f
Where 5742b0f is the vendor id of InfiniBox. For each lun, you should see a line of the following form:
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition c2::5742b0f0004e2b12,1 disk connected configured unknown
The condition "unknown" means the lun is available. In the above example, c2 is the controller /dec/cfg/c2, and 5742b0f0004e2b12,1 is a single path device id (wwpn, lun).
You can list the available disks using:
format < /dev/null
With the following output, which is a list of the available disks (In this case, you should ignore the first entry):
0. c0t0d0 <DEFAULT cyl 4092 alt 2 hd 128 sec 32>
/pci@0,0/pci15ad,1976@10/sd@0,0
1. c1t6742B0F000004E2B0000000000000AAEd0 <DEFAULT cyl 2381 alt 2 hd 128 sec 32>
/scsi_vhci/disk@g6742b0f000004e2b0000000000000aae
You can view the paths for each disk using luxadm or mpathadm. Note that "s2" is appended to the device path. Type:
luxadm disp /dev/rdsk/c1t6742B0F000004E2B0000000000000AAEd0s2
And you should get details about the disk, and it's available paths:
DEVICE PROPERTIES for disk: /dev/rdsk/c1t6742B0F000004E2B0000000000000AAEd0s2

Where in the above example there is only a single path.
