D Configure Your Solaris 10 Operating System You can use the default initiator configuration for Oracle Solaris 10 operating systems. No changes are required. However, you might experience the following issue. Zero-Length Volumes By default, the Solaris 10 initiator automatically connects to all volumes that it discovers. If it connects to a zero-length volume (such as the vss-control volume), it panics. To avoid this issue: • Make sure the vss-control volume on the group has access control records that are configured to prevent the Solaris initiator from discovering it. • Make sure the volume does not allow unrestricted access. It is also possible that, after the EqualLogic Remote Setup Wizard is run, the vss-control ACL uses CHAP. Using the CHAP discovery filter would also prevent Solaris from discovering it. You can use the EqualLogic CLI command grpparams discovery-use-chap disable to disable filtering based on CHAP. Configure Your Solaris 10 Operating System 23

Zero-Length Volumes
By default, the Solaris 10 initiator automatically connects to all volumes that it discovers. If it connects to a zero-length
volume (such as the vss-control volume), it panics. To avoid this issue:
•
Make sure the vss-control volume on the group has access control records that are configured to prevent the
Solaris initiator from discovering it.
•
Make sure the volume does not allow unrestricted access.
It is also possible that, after the EqualLogic Remote Setup Wizard is run, the vss-control ACL uses CHAP. Using the CHAP
discovery filter would also prevent Solaris from discovering it. You can use the EqualLogic CLI command

to disable filtering based on CHAP.
