Installing a Sun adapter and driver on a Sun host system

This section provides instructions for installing and configuring a Sun adapter and adapter driver on a Sun host system running Solaris 8, 9, and 10.

1. Shut down your host system.
2. Insert the Sun adapter into an available PCI slot.
3. Connect the cable to the adapter and to the DS6000™ or to the switch port that you have configured for the host adapter. If you have not configured host adapter ports on your DS6000, see Host configuration through the DS Storage Manager.
4. Restart the system.
5. Follow the instructions in Downloading and installing a host adapter driver to download the latest Sun driver for your adapter.
6. Log in to your Solaris system with root privileges.
7. Navigate to the directory where the compressed package file resides. Type cd/<source directory>

   where <source directory> is the directory where the compressed package file resides after you have downloaded the driver from the Sun Web site.

8. Type the following command to uncompress the package file: tar xvf SAN_4[1].4.7_install_it.tar
9. Navigate to the following directory: cd SAN_4.4.7_install_it
10. Type the following command to install the driver: ./install_it
11. Restart the system.
12. When the system has completed the restart, type the following command to determine the connected fibre-channel adapters: cfgadm -al
13. To configure the adapters so that the Solaris operating system can recognize the logical unit numbers (LUNs), type the following command: cfgadm -c configure c3::500507630304c093

    where <c3::500507630304c093> is the output from step 12, and is the WWPN of the DS6000 adapter port that you connected in step 3.

14. Repeat step 13 as necessary to ensure that all LUNs are recognized.
15. Scan all attached devices using the following command: devfsadm
16. Type the format command to display all LUNs that were discovered by the Solaris operating system.
