Hi Mangers,
I need a Help from you.
I have two E4500 systems (Both running Solaris 8 )that I want to configure to
share two A1000 arrays in a failover kind of configuration - where they're
both connected at either end of the SCSI bus, but only one system mounts the
disks at any one time. I'm will be using Veritas Volume Manger and VCS to
manage these
disks.

I installed A1000 on both of the systems and configured it up, with one A1000
target ID1 (system 1) and other with target ID 2 ( System 2) on two
Differential cards in failover mode. On system 1 it recognized as c1t1d0,
c1t1d1 and c2t2d0 and on other system (system 2)it recognized as c1t2d0 and
c2t1d0 c2t1d1. The second system wants to see them as c1 and c2. I cannot get
the systems to agree so that on system 2 also it recognized as c1t1d0, c1t1d1
and c2t2d0 instead of present c1t2d0 and c2t1d0 c2t1d1.

According to the Veritas documentation, both systems have to see the disks as
the same controller, unit etc. in order for the diskgroup failover to work.

Both systems have the cards in the same SBUS slots. There are two SBUS IO
boards in each system. On the first, the controller is in slot 0, the
second has the controller in slot 1.

I have even copied the /etc/paths_to_inst file from the first system to the
second and boot -r to see if this will make the systems agree, and it does
not.

I have also tried deleting c1* and c2* from /dev/dsk , /dev/rdsk and /dev/cfg
dir and ran /usr/sbin/devfsadm command but with no luck.

How do I change my controller number on system 2 to make both identical?

Thanks in advance

BS
