You must configure the Solaris operating system before
you can use Sun hosts with the SAN Volume Controller.
Before you configure the Solaris operating system, the following
tasks must be completed:
- The IBM® service
representative must
have installed the SAN Volume Controller.
- You must have installed the appropriate host bus adapters.
After the prerequisite tasks are complete, use the following
general steps to configure your Solaris operating system.
- Zone the host system to the SAN Volume Controller on
the fibre-channel SAN.
- Install the appropriate multipathing driver for your host
system to enable the management of multiple paths to SAN Volume Controller virtual
disks (VDisks).
Note: The subsystem
device driver (SDD) does
not support the Solaris operating system in a clustering environment.
- Create the host system on the SAN Volume Controller, using the worldwide port names (WWPNs). Map the VDisks
to the host as required.
- Create volumes/disks on your host using instructions in
your host system publications.
