Hi Sun Managers,
I am attempting to configure a Solaris 9 08/03 (inc. latest recommended
patchset) system to use a DEC/HP HSG-80 hardware RAID across a Brocade
SAN. I have successfully installed the SAN Foundation kit, the Sun system
can see the HSG-80. The host can see each LUN 8 times as expected, the
host has 2 san connections and the storage 4 san connections - 2 for each
controller.
I configure mpxio modifying the /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf
(mpxio-disable="no";)
(and append to the bottom of the file)
device-type-scsi-options-list =
"DEC HSG-80 ", "symmetric-option";
symmetric-option = 0x1000000;
(I've also tried "DEC HSG-80", and "DEC HSG-80" here)
I reboot -- -r, the system boots doing a format produces (as expected).
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c0t0d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
/ssm@0,0/pci@18,600000/pci@1/scsi@2/sd@0,0
1. c0t1d0 <SUN36G cyl 24620 alt 2 hd 27 sec 107>
/ssm@0,0/pci@18,600000/pci@1/scsi@2/sd@1,0
2. c5t60001FE1001BF87000090470635800BDd0 <drive type unknown>
/scsi_vhci/ssd@g60001fe1001bf87000090470635800bd
3. c5t60001FE1001BF87000090470635800C7d0 <drive type unknown>
/scsi_vhci/ssd@g60001fe1001bf87000090470635800c7
4. c5t60001FE1001BF87000090470635800C8d0 <drive type unknown>
/scsi_vhci/ssd@g60001fe1001bf87000090470635800c8
5. c5t60001FE1001BF87000090470635800CAd0 <drive type unknown>
/scsi_vhci/ssd@g60001fe1001bf87000090470635800ca
Specify disk (enter its number): 2
However if I attempt to open any of these disks, format asks me to
configure the disks (asking me about their geometry, etc).
luxadm gives me errors if I try to luxadm display the full path to the
mpxio device
eg luxadm display /dev/rdsk/c5t60001FE1001BF87000090470635800CAd0
I have successfully configured mpxio on other non sun storage (a Transtec
storage 6300 - a rebadged InfoTrend RAID controller)
The entry in the bottom of my /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf for this device
is this,
device-type-scsi-options-list =
"IFT IFT-7250F", "symmetric-option";
symmetric-option = 0x1000000;
According to page 24 of the Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager (the marketing
name for mpxio) pdf (available at http://spiti.net/alex/Sun-Storedge-Traffic-Manager.pdf)
"The vendor ID (v_id) must be five characters and the product ID (prod_id)
must be eight characters with trailing blanks:
device-type-scsi-options-list =
"v_id prod_id ", "symmetric-option";
symmetric-option = 0x1000000;
However on page 19 they give an apparently contradictory example,
"To enable STMS support for third party symmetric devices make an entry
like this:
"SUN StorEdge 3510", "symmetric-option";
symmetric-option = 0x1000000;"
I was wondering if anyone who has successfully configured mpxio with non
Sun storage could post me this section of their /kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf
so I could attempt to find out what the correct syntax for this is.
Alternatively if anyone has successfully configured an HSG-80 in this
configuration, what did you do?
Many thanks,
Alex Madden
