You can synchronize the target ID mapping across cluster
members by copying the
/etc/emx.db
and
/etc/emx.db.bak
database files because:
•
The TruCluster software has configured the
emx
adapters to
the same SCSI bus number on all hosts (for example,
emx0
is
scsi3
and
emx1
is
scsi4
).
•
Each member system is cabled symmetrically to each shared
storage bus (for example, the
emx0
adapter on each member
system is cabled to a common switch and
emx1
adapter on
each member is also cabled to a common switch).
The worldwide name-to-target ID mapping thus established persists across
member and cluster reboots. You do not need to change it unless you add
or replace KGPSA adapters, explicitly modify target IDs, or perform a
wholescale swap of an RA8000 or ESA12000.
4.6.3 Remapping Target IDs After Adding or Replacing a Fibre
Channel Device
When you modify the cluster Fibre Channel storage configuration by adding
or replacing a Fibre Channel device, you potentially disrupt the worldwide
name-to-target ID mapping that was established when the cluster was
established, causing this mapping to go out of synchronization across cluster
members.
This section describes the general procedure to reestablish a consistent
mapping within a cluster. Section 5.3.3 discuss the specific tasks for adding
or replacing Fibre Channel devices in a cluster.

You must complete the procedures in Section 5.3.3 before you
use the following procedure.
To modify the worldwide name-to-target ID mappings after you add or
replace a Fibre Channel adapter, follow these steps:
1.
Boot the member system to single-user mode:
>>>
boot -fl s
2.
Mount the file systems, set the root file system writable, and start the
network by entering the following commands:
