Mounting a SAN Vdisk to Solaris 9

To anybody,
I need some help of how to connect a Vdisk from a SAN (StorageWorks Command View EVA) that was created in the SAN. Tried to mount the:
*[root@sgb-trdb01]# mkdir /trmedtest*
*[root@sgb-trdb01]# mount /dev/dsk/c4t600508b40010891c00011000006b0000d0s7 /trmedtest*
and I receive this error:
mount: /dev/dsk/c4t600508b40010891c00011000006b0000d0s7 or /trmedtest, no such y
Question:
How do I see the remote Vdisk partition that is publish through the SAN being visible in Solaris 9, although it is not mounted yet? I think the Solaris 9 still cannot see the Remote Vdisk Resource. How do I confim this?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello!
It's not clear - device /dev/dsk/c4t600508b40010891c00011000006b0000d0s7 is new or was created before.
Check that system can access to this device.
For example:
format /dev/rdsk/c4t600508b40010891c00011000006b0000d0s7
After select partiotion, print.
Check what you can see.
If format don't have access to this disk, check that this device is configured.
cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev
Possible, you need configure some FC devices that currently have status unconfigured
cfgadm -c configure <device>
Check path status to device:
luxadm display /dev/rdsk/c4t600508b40010891c00011000006b0000d0s2

How to mount SAN drive inside Solaris 10

Dear Support,
I have some solaris servers, and storage administrator have given 1 of the solaris server 4 LUN. I will need to mount those drives inside my solaris servers. I would like to know how to do it step by step.
Anyone can guide me?

1. After I do rescan with DEVFSADM and I do sympd list will device appear?
hostname#echo | format :
Searching for disks...done
here you can able see non labled disks. you need to labled first. after labled, here you are not see disks.
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0.c0t0d0
2. How can I see the device prior to formatting and mouting it?
After labled, you need to create the new file systems with user : newfs /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0sX
cerate mount point: mkdir /test
mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0sX /test
3. From the FORMAT command how do I know which is my new device as the server already has plenty SAN disks assigned?
A): hostname#echo | format :
Searching for disks...done
here you can able see non labled disks. you need to labled first. after labled, here you are not see any disks.
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0.c0t0d0
4. From the FORMAT command how do I tie devices back to a SAN/Symmetrix device number?
echo | format | grep c1t2d0 (SAN device name)
5. Then the easy part to the guru's how to I physically map/moun the newly added device?
you have fallow the above steps..

How do I map Hitachi SAN LUNs to Solaris 10 and Oracle 10g ASM?

Hi all,
I am working on an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM installation with Sun E6900 servers attached to a Hitachi SAN for shared storage with Sun Solaris 10 as the server OS. We are using Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3) RAC clusterware
for the clustering software and raw devices for shared storage and Veritas VxFs 4.1 filesystem.
My question is this:
How do I map the raw devices and LUNs on the Hitachi SAN to Solaris 10 OS and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
I am aware that with an Oracle 10g RAC and ASM instance, one needs to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter file to set the asm_diskstring setting to recognize the LUNs that are presented to the host.
I know that Sun Solaris 10 uses /dev/rdsk/CwTxDySz naming convention at the OS level for disks. However, how would I map this to Oracle 10g ASM settings?
I cannot find this critical piece of information ANYWHERE!!!!
Thanks for your help!

Yes that is correct however due to use of Solaris 10 MPxIO multipathing software that we are using with the Hitachi SAN it does present an extra layer of complexity and issues with ASM configuration. Which means that ASM may get confused when it attempts to find the new LUNs from the Hitachi SAN at the Solaris OS level. Oracle Metalink note 396015.1 states this issue.
So my question is this: how to configure the ASM instance initialization parameter asm_diskstring to recognize the new Hitachi LUNs presented to the Solaris 10 host?
Lets say that I have the following new LUNs:
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d1s6
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d2s6
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d3s6
/dev/rdsk/c7t1d4s6
Would I set the ASM initialization parameter for asm_diskstring to /dev/rdsk/c7t1d*s6
as correct setting so that the ASM instance recognizes my new Hitachi LUNs? Solaris needs to map these LUNs using pseudo devices in the Solaris OS for ASM to recognize the new disks.
How would I set this up in Solaris 10 with Sun multipathing (MPxIO) and Oracle 10g RAC ASM?
I want to get this right to avoid the dreaded ORA-15072 errors when creating a diskgroup with external redundancy for the Oracle 10g RAC ASM installation process.

ORACLE TABLESPACE CREATION PROBLEM IN SAN STORAGE FROM SOLARIS X86 Machine

Hi everybody,
i am new in this forum and i am also new in solaris operating system with SAN storage.
I am using oracle database 10g in a sun x86 machine with solaris 5.10.
While i am trying to create a tablepsace in SAN storage in a mount point of 2.1TB the following error occurs:

But when i am trying to create a tablepsace in SAN storage in a mount point of 1.8TB it works fine.
So, please if any body can help me to solve this issue i will be very glad
Thanks

SAN Foundation with Solaris 10?

We are considering a move to Solaris 10 and want to know if the current SAN foundation is the proper version to use. Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply! It was exactly as you stated - I installed Solaris 10 on a box with a Qlogic adapter and it saw the switch, storage, et. al. cool!

Difficulty with SAN boot of solaris 10 (on V245) from HP EVA 4000 -

Hi
This is my first post. I'm trying to get my head around what's preventing me booting a V245 solaris 10 from a LUN presented from an HP EVA 4000.
The machine boots up ok from a local disk. So, i've done the LUN masking (presentation) on the EVA and the Brocade zoning - solaris can see the disk.
I've formated it close to the current internal root disk, and had used ufsdump/ufsrestore and installboot to copy the contents of / onto the new LUN , which i had mounted as /mnt.
My problem is i just can't seem to get at the new disk at the ok prompt - i'm never quite sure that i'm booting from the correct disk.
I believe all the compatibility with o/s qlc card drivers and the EVA are in order.
The qlc HBA is as follows:
Sun SG-XPCI2FC-QF2/x6768A 1077 2312 1077 10A and have suitable patch 119139-33
Here's some output:
root@bwdnbtsl02# uname -a

Now down at ok prompt, probe-scsi-all can see the EVA (HSV) LUNS

If anyone can put me straight here i'd be most grateful.

hi,guys:
i am interesting in your question. i have never try it like your experience.
maybe the cause is drive . either the OS is running . the drive can load. or relation with the style of server .
i think you can try it like the following again.
when you install OS , you chocie EVA disk .
remeber . if the test is complete. you must tell me .
the following is my contact: [email protected]

Expand a SAN partition under Solaris 10

Hi!
I am using Solaris 10 hook up a SAN partition through SAN network. Now I want to expand the original SAN partition, with data on it, from 100GB to 200GB. We tried to expand it. On the SAN management side, it was expanded to 200GB. However, I am not able see and partition size change in Solaris 10.
Would you please kindly show me how to expand it properly without restoring data from backup?
Thanks.

Hi,
even though you expand the volume from the storage the partition table is still the same. You need to reflect the changes to the new head/sector/cylinder setting on the disk to see the new disk size.
Prior doing that take a backup copy of the existing partition table.
# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs2
also if there are multiple partitions on the disks it is also dvisable to note down the start cylinder and the size in cylinders of each partition.
Then you have to unmount the volumes and relable it.
format
format> type
select "auto" to let format to select the new disk type and lable.
Once this is done you will see the new disk size. Create the existing partions using the saved partition information. You will find the added capacity towards the end of the previous cylinder boundry.
Note: During the capacity increase if there are changes to the heads or sectors of the disk then the "growfs" command will fail.

MDM console GUI on Windows is not mounting the MDM server on Solaris

Hello MDM experts,
This is kind of administrative problem. I am basis person, installing SAP MDM 5.5 SP04 for the first time.
I have configured the MDM server (mds) on solaris 10 system. I have also configured MDM import server(mdis) and Syndication serever (mdss) on the same machine. I have installed the database software and configured the empty repository on the same host machine.
So, Database and all the 3 MDM services (mds,mdis,mdss) are running on Solaris machine.
After that, I installed "MDM console fat client GUI" component on my desktop and trying to "mount the server" by specifying the "hostname" of the solaris machine where MDM services are running.
But I am not able to mount it...it says invalid server and does not mount.
Any idea what might be the problem ????
I referred following link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdmgds55/helpdata/EN/8e/9f9c427055c66ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
which says, you should have administrative right on Solaris machine where MDM server is running....but how do I have that being a Windows user ???
Please advise.

Hello Mark,
1. When I right click on the "SAP MDM servers" node in "Console Hierarchy" pane on the left hand side of the Console GUI, and select "Mount MDM Server..." option in context menu, I get a dialog box for entering my MDM server name.
I typed in the fully qualified host name of my solaris server where "mds-r" is running.
When I click "OK" button, it adds an entry in "Console Hierarchy" on left hand side, but the entry comes with "Yellow exclamation Mark" sign. Also it says Status "Invalid" when I see the "MDM servers" section on right hand side top.
When I right click on my newly created entry of MDM server, all the options on context menu like "Mount Repository, Create Repository, Connect to MDM server" look greyed out. Only the option of "Unmount MDM server" seems to be enabled
2. I tried to do the same thing on 2 different Windows machines and got the same output.
Regards,
Bharat

Mounting windows directory to the solaris for linkage of files to the DB

Hi,
I want to know how to access windows directory in sun solaris 5.0,actually in the windows directory we are havig JPG images and we want to crreate a link to the database and our database is oracle 10 g, but i am unable to mount the win directory to the solaris.............
can anybody help me out to solve the problem..........

You can have the image directory shifted to database server itself. That would solve a lot of issues in first place.
If you are having trouble setting up the windows share on Solaris, get in touch with your system administrator.

How to mount StorageTek 2530 disk to Solaris

I have finished the setting in CAM for StorageTek 2530. How can I mount it to the file system in solaris? Is it possible to expand /export/home directory? Is it possible to concatenate a new RAID 5 from StorageTek 2530 to the original RAID 5 of /export/home?
Thanks

I got my air disk to mount. A little bit of legwork on my part and found the drive thru looking on my drive and shared folder. Definitely different than tiger.
Here is my new problem. I moved some folders and files from my leopard mbp, but when I mount the same air disk on a mac mini g4 running tiger I can not see any of the folders (besides "shared") or any of their contents. Even the "shared" folder show nothing but empty.
The only thing I did on the leopard machine was customize some of the folder icon styles, gave them more slick looking icons.

SAN Foundation for Solaris 10?????

I can't seem to find the download for SAN Foundation? Does it exist yet? How can I spin up my 256 zones without any storage?
Thanks!
-Walter

Are you sure SFK is required on S10? I haven't dug deep into this yet, but I installed S10 on a system with the Sun Qlogic FC card and it saw our EMC storage just fine.
SFK was a bolt on for 8 and 9, I would hope they integrated it into 10.
