7. If the qla2300 driver is version 4.15 or later, verify that the following or a similar entry is present in the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file: name="sd" parent="qla2300" target=2048; To perform LUN rediscovery after configuring the LUNs, use the following command: /opt/QLogic_Corporation/drvutil/qla2300/qlreconfig -d qla2300 -s 8. Reboot the server to implement the changes to the configuration files. NOTE: The qla2300 driver is not supported for Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager/Sun Storage Multipathing. To configure a QLogic FCA using the Sun SAN driver stack, see "Configuring FCAs with the Sun SAN driver stack" (page 89). Fabric setup and zoning To set up the fabric and zoning: 1. Verify that the Fibre Channel cable is connected and firmly inserted at the array ports, host ports, and SAN switch. 2. Through the Telnet connection to the switch or Switch utilities, verify that the WWN of the EVA ports and FCAs are present and online. 3. Create a zone consisting of the WWNs of the EVA ports and FCAs, and then add the zone to the active switch configuration. 4. Enable and then save the new active switch configuration. NOTE: There are variations in the steps required to configure the switch between different vendors. For more information, see the HP SAN Design Reference Guide, available for downloading on the HP website: http://www.hp.com/go/sandesign. Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager (MPxIO)/Sun Storage Multipathing Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager (MPxIO)/Sun Storage Multipathing can be used for FCAs configured with the Sun SAN driver and depending on the operating system version, architecture (SPARC/x86), and patch level installed. For configuration details, see the HP MPxIO application notes, available on the HP support website: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals. NOTE: MPxIO is included in the SPARC and x86 Sun SAN driver. A separate installation of MPxIO is not required. In the Search products box, enter MPxIO, and then click the search symbol. Select the application notes from the search results. Configuring with Veritas Volume Manager The Dynamic Multipathing (DMP) feature of Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM) can be used for all FCAs and all drivers. EVA disk arrays are certified for VxVM support. When you install FCAs, ensure that the driver parameters are set correctly. Failure to do so can result in a loss of path failover in DMP. For information about setting FCA parameters, see "Configuring FCAs with the Sun SAN driver stack" (page 89) and the FCA manufacturer's instructions. The DMP feature requires an Array Support Library (ASL) and an Array Policy Module (APM). The ASL/APM enables Asymmetric Logical Unit Access (ALUA). LUNs are accessed through the primary controller. After enablement, use the vxdisk list command to determine the primary and secondary paths. For VxVM 4.1 (MP1 or later), you must download the ASL/APM from the Symantec/Veritas support site for installation on the host. This download and installation is not required for VxVM 5.0 or later. To download and install the ASL/APM from the Symantec/Veritas support website: Sun Solaris 93
