Confirming storage connectivity for SGI in a switched-fabric topology

Confirming storage connectivity for SGI in a switched-fabric topology

This section contains an example of a switched fabric connection with the fibre-channel adapter cards. The following conditions apply to this example:

  1. 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 numerical value of the device.
  2. Type scsiha -p {bus_number | device}.
  3. Use the ioconfig -d -f /hw command to assign logical controller numbers in the hardware graph to each of the newly discovered physical devices.
  4. Use the hinv -c disk command to confirm that all four instances of each of the four LUNs exists.
  5. Use the ls -l /hw/rdisk command to verify that you named the directory the same name as the worldwide node name of the storage unit.
  6. Use the ls -l /hw/rdisk command to verify that directories for each LUN exist in the /hw/rdisk/<wwnn> directory, where <wwnn> is the worldwide node name of the device.
  7. Type cd /hw/rdisk/<wwnn>, where <wwnn> is the worldwide node name of the device, to change to the /hw/rdisk/<wwnn> directory. You must execute the next command from within this directory.
  8. Use the ls -lR lun* command to verify that the command created the character-special files in each LUN* directory. The asterisk (*) acts as a universal wildcard for any characters that might appear after the initial “LUN” characters.
