I had various responses and the overriding theme was not many successful
experiences with being able to do this using non-sun branded cards.
I'm using Emulex HBAs and HBAnywhere...on newest 2900 boxes I'm able to
see newly added SAN disks without reboot.
However, on the 490 system in question, I have not been able to get it
to work. Not sure at this point if I need to update the driver or
what...

Subject: Add SAN disk without Reboot on non-Sun branded controllers
I've used these steps in the past:
devfsadm -C
cfgadm -al (to get a list of controllers)
cfgadm -c configure c2::500610003412EAB23141
cfgadm -c configure c4::500610003412EAB23142
and on occasion, forget why, had to do a luxadm -e forcelip <port>
However, I'm on a project now where standard is to use Emulex cards and
drivers...and these steps are not working.
After devfsadm -C
And doing the cfgadm not seeing anything, format also doesn't show the
LUN added to the fabric:
(418) >> cfgadm -al
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant
Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured
unknown
c0::dsk/c0t0d0 CD-ROM connected configured
unknown
usb0/1 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/2 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/3 unknown empty unconfigured ok
usb0/4 unknown empty unconfigured ok
Luxadm probe doesn't even see hba's
Apparently, we're using HBAnywhere:
(416) >> pkginfo -l HBAnyware
PKGINST: HBAnyware
NAME: Emulex HBAnyware FC Host Bus Adapter Remote Manager
CATEGORY: system
ARCH: sun4u
VERSION: 2.0a16
BASEDIR: /
PSTAMP: utilsun0320040525101537
INSTDATE: May 05 2005 23:12
STATUS: completely installed
[/]11:13:18 >> ls /usr/sbin/lpfc/
convert_path_lpfc dfc32 lputil lputil64
update_lpfc
dfc dfc64 lputil32 resetqdepth
[/]11:13:18 >>
I can run the lputil cmd to show any necessary output...thanks
