Followup to my own posting regarding the Volume Manager Solaris 9 error
when tryin the metainit a concatenation of LUNs from an HP XP512:
I found a Sun document addressing this very problem # ID48730, and was
wondering if anyone had tried the workaround it describes? The idea is
tell the sd driver that the disks with the specified product IDs do not
have a unique serial number (used to construct the devid), so it can
create a unique device id to write back to the disk itself. The entry in
sd.conf is of the following layout:
sd-config-list=
"HP OPEN-9*10 -SUN","workaround";
workaround=1,0x8,0,0,0,0,0;
If so, I need to know if I need 4 separate sd-config-list entries in
/kernel/drv/sd.conf to describe these non-Sun disks? We have 4 separate
product types as far as I can see - all of which have NO serial number
according to netstat -k.
(2) Vendor id: HP Product ID: OPEN-9*10 -SUN
(3) Vendor id: HP Product ID: OPEN-9*5 -SUN
(1) Vendor id: HP Product ID: OPEN-9*6 -SUN
(1) Vendor id: HP Product ID: OPEN-9*2 -SUN
Alteratively, can the entries all be combined into one sd-config-list?
Many thanks
Scotty
