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:
- The PCI-FC-1P-OPT adapter cards are on PCI busses 6 and 8.
- There are four LUNs defined on the storage unit.
- There are two connections from the switch to two host adapters on the storage unit.
- The switch is not zoned. Therefore, each LUN is available on each host
adapter from each host bus adapter. This means that there are four instances
of each LUN for each adapter card.
- 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.
- 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 all
four instances of each of the four LUNs exists.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
