Confirming storage connectivity for SGI in a fibre-channel arbitrated
loop topology
This section contains an example of an arbitrated loop connection
with the fibre-channel adapter cards. The following conditions apply to this
example:
- The PCI-FC-1P-OPT adapter cards are on PCI busses 6 and 8.
- There are four LUNs defined on the storage unit.
- Each host adapter is connected to a host adapter in the storage unit.
- Each host adapter maintains two instances of each LUN.
- Type scsiha -r {bus_number | device} at the root
of the shell prompt. bus_number is the numerical value for
the bus and device is the numerical value for the device.
- Type scsiha -p {bus_number | device}.
- Use the ioconfig -d -f /hw command to assign logical
controller numbers in the hardware graph to each of the newly discovered physical
devices.
- Use the hinv -c disk command to confirm that two
instances of each of the four LUNs exist.
- Use the ls -l /hw/disk command to verify that
the command created the appropriate block special files in hw/disk for each
LUN.
