Hi, Sun Managers

I am facing one small problem in attaching the storage to
second sun server
(I want to share or make available this D1000 Storage
between two Sun servers)

Please find the output for device information of our
two sun servers

Please consider that main problem our case is ....
We have
Two Sun Servers ( sun1 and sun2) with One D1000 Storage Box

we have attached
on --> Sun2 <-- Server and it is working fine and I have created some volumns
also on that , but when we try
to attach the Storage to Second Sun server -->
Sun1 <--

But in this case it doesn't show the storage Disk attache to
Solaris server 2 ( Nor in fdisk or not in Format command also)
|------------------|
                      | Storage D1000 |
|------------------|
                         / \
/ \
                       / \
                     Sun2
Sun1
 

We have Terminator attached to both the servers

other information is
as follows

( So please kindly look at it and tell me your comments for the
same)

See I have following Informations for you

Let me explain you the
senario I have Two Sun Fire server

bash-2.03# uname -a
SunOS sun2 5.8
Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80

And I have one D1000 Storage ,
which I want to share between two Servers , so that I can Implement ORACLE RAC
on that
So I want that both the servers should be able to access the DISKs
We have a veritas volume manager installed on both the servers
Out put which I
have received from sun1 ( server which detects the storage)

bash-2.03# format

So I want both the
Sun server should be able to access the storage Drivers (or volumes) for read
and write ... as I am a very new to this hardware level things ... But I have
already installed this kind of setup with two storage box , which were in
Mirror ( But the Hardware setup I am not aware :(

So can u please help
me in this ,,

IS there any command which will show me --> SCSI initiator
conflicts

Because from Veritas voleme manager of one server I am able to See
the Disk group and I am able to add and remove disk also.

But with Second
server it is not happenig ,
