Hi all
We have two new GS80s running TruCluster 5.1A attached to an EVA.
Disclosure: I am used to HSZs and DU 4.0 and rz... devices so I may be
missing something obvious. But I have spent quite a while reading the
docs!
When I make a virtual disk on an EVA, I can assign it a LUN to the host
(I think I'm assigning a LUN - the EVA's HSV Element Manager software
calls it an "OS Unit ID"). I can also present it (i.e., make it
visible) to a host (just one at create time). When I do, the end result
is that it's presented to that host at that LUN. Very good.
However as soon as the volume is created I want to present it to the
second host. I can do this but don't seem to have an option to specify
the LUN again, which is okay but it seems to assign it a random LUN to
the other host and not use the LUN number I specified for the first
host. You can see this in the "Hosts/LUNs/State" window of the "Virtual
Disk Active Properties" page - for instance, if at create time I specify
volume "somevolumename" with an OS Unit ID of 2 and that it should be
presented to host "host1", then after creation I present it to host
"host2", I can look at the "Hosts/LUNs/State" and see it as
"host1/Active@2" but "host2/Active@5". Where did the 5 come from? To
my mind this is horrible - won't my host 1 see it as "dsk2" but host 2
see it as "dsk5"? This is the way the engineer set it up so I am loath
to tinker but what I would really like is that they appear to each host
with the same LUN. Is there something about TruCluster 5.X that means I
can't do this and makes the way the engineer did it okay?
Thanks
John
