Today let’s deal with Solaris.
Unexpected problem happens today. the QA Server which should host an Oracle Instance for simulate parallel job processing is Hang neither too slow to response. We had to move the process on another server.
the problem is. I don’t have another server which is 500 Gb ready. the best I can give is a M4000 with internal 300Gb with Solaris. I had to run another FC cables , and mounting available LUN on SAN Storage to the that server.
Let’s skip with the wiring things.
here is the case : I had 1 M4000 with only 1 FC ports, on the other side I had 1 LUN 1.9 Tb Storages needed to mount. (fast, the DBA need it.)
lucky, I don’t need to deal with multipath today.
I’m gonna write how to mount the LUN to the Solaris.
1. First you have to make sure the FC connected.
you can find with luxadm – e port
root@cargo # luxadm -e port
/devices/pci@3,700000/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0:devctl CONNECTED
if the it’s not connected please check the cables, or zoning.
another useful command on this ste
root@cargo # fcinfo hba-port -l |grep HBA
HBA Port WWN: 21000024ff0xxxxx
this is your server WWN
2. now let’s find the disk with
root@cargo # cfgadm -al
………………..
c1::201700a0b86e556e disk connected configured unknown
c1::203700a0b86e556e disk connected configured unknown
c1::206600a0b86e556e disk connected configured unknown
c1::208600a0b86e556e disk connected configured unknown
if the SAN Storage configured correctly you can see the disk in here.
(cmiiw) the command above show the devices connected in bus data.
please configure with this command if the state is not configured
cfgadm -c c1
3. now let’s configure the disk
on Solaris you need label it so the disk can be configured , we can configure it with format command
format

Specify disk (enter its number):
pay attention on above.
the first bold line. it’s your information the storage found on server
the 2nd bold line. it’s the disk you will format. ( on my case, I labeled to CARGOVG)
now follow this step :
choose the Disk (on my case, 2 )
label it
format> type
select type 19
format> volname
Enter 8-character volume name (remember quotes)[“”]:”export”
Ready to label disk, continue? y
format> save
Saving new disk and partition definitions
Enter file name[“./format.dat”]:
format> quit
4. now the last step. create new file system and mount it
find the path to the storage you format before,
and create the file system on the disk,
root@cargo # newfs /dev/rdsk/c1t202700A0B86E556Ed0s2
newfs: construct a new file system /dev/rdsk/c1t202700A0B86E556Ed0s2: (y/n)? y

the last let’s mount it.
add it on /etc/vfstab, so it will mount every time the server started
/dev/dsk/c1t202700A0B86E556Ed0s2 /dev/rdsk/c1t202700A0B86E556Ed0s2 /mnt/data ufs 1 yes logging
and mount it
mount /mnt/data
your server is ready to go
