From: Dariusz Dolecki on 8 Aug 2010 11:09 I have to add new LUN's to extend a filesystem, this is on Solaris 10 with Veritas volume manager. The SAN team has told me that they have allocated the LUN's, how do I tell which LUN's are new and which ones are old(already being used). What are the steps required to add LUN's. Please help.

Then fire up format. The new disks should have the form c#t<WWN>d0s#. For example: c4t600A0B800026FEBC00000E894C428547d0s4 .... where 600A0B800026FEBC00000E894C428547 or 60:0A:0B:80:00:26:FE:BC:00:00:0E:89:4C:42:85:47 is the WWN of the disk. (LUNs, not LUN's) -- Brandon Hume - hume -> BOFH.Ca, http://WWW.BOFH.Ca/

How will the disks show up in vxdiskadm?

How will the disks > show up in vxdiskadm? let solaris know about your new disks- run cfgadm -al; devfsadm -Cv then label your new disks with format. you're on your own for locating the new disks. then let vxfs know about the new drives vxdctl enable vxdisk -e list will show them as well as your existing disks. then you format them in veritas, and add them to your diskgroups and create or grow your volumes as needed. |
