Making SPs Available to Server (QLogic HBAs Only)
Making SPs Available to Server (QLogic HBAs Only)
Read this section if the server has one or more QLogic HBAs
connected to the storage system.
Add Virtual Disks (LUNs) to the sd.conf Configuration File
Solaris maintains a configuration file named
/kernel/drv/sd.conf
,
which lists all virtual disks (LUNs) that a user may want to access.
This file contains entries for virtual disk 0 (LUN 0) only. As a result,
you must edit the file to add entries for any virtual disks (LUNs) with
numbers greater than 0 that you will create on the storage systems
connected to the server.
Adding entries for extra virtual disks (LUNs) does not cause any problems. If
you do not know how many virtual (LUNs) you will create, you should add
extra entries.
Before editing the current
/kernel/drv/sd.conf
file, make a copy of it
just in case the file is lost or errors are made. When editing the file,
follow these precautions:
◆
Do not delete any original data from this file; the Solaris
operating system might not boot properly.
◆
Do not insert hidden format characters. The file is very sensitive
to hidden format characters, and a misplaced tab or other
formatting character can make all subsequent entries unreadable.
1. Log in to the server as superuser (root).
2. In the
/kernel/drv/sd.conf
file add
name="sd" class="scsi"
entries for any virtual disks (LUNs) with numbers greater 0 that
you might create on the storage systems.
