11. Repeat steps 4 through 10 until all add-on modules are installed.
12. When you are finished installing add-on modules, remove and store the
ESD wrist band, if you are using one.
Creating Device Nodes and Binding the Disks
If you are adding disk arrays to a storage system that already has at least one
LUN configured, the SPs must be made aware of the new disks. This section
explains how to accomplish this without rebooting. Also, in a system with
two storage-control SPs which are used for primary and secondary paths,
both SPs must be made aware of the new disks. Also, the new disks must be
bound into LUNs.
Follow these steps:
1.
Change to the /dev directory:
cd /dev
2.
Type
./MAKE_VLUNS <controller-number> <target-number>
This command creates the device nodes for the new disks.
3.
Bind the newly installed modules into one or more physical disk units,
as described in “Binding Disks Into RAID Units,” in Chapter 4 in this
guide.
