HP 3PAR Solaris Implementation Guide

3. Create the host definition on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, which represents the host server's
HBA port WWN.
4. Export the VLUN to the host server using any LUN number.
5. Prepare a Solaris OS install server on the same network as the host server, or use the Solaris
OS CD install media.
NOTE: For a Solaris 8 and 9 install image, the required Solaris StorEdge SAN software
must also be added to the install server boot image.
6. For a SPARC host server, use the OpenBoot ok prompt to boot the host from the network or
CD:
ok boot net # if using install server
ok boot cdrom # if using CD
ok boot rcdrom # if using iLOM CDROM
For an x86 host server, use the BIOS network boot option (i.e., the F12 key) to boot the host
from the network or CD.
The host server should boot from the install server or CD and enter the Solaris interactive
installation program. Enter appropriate responses for your installation until you come to the
‘Select Disks’ menu. The LUN will be listed as more than one device if multiple paths are used.
The LUN will show as zero size, or you may receive the following warning:
No disks found.
> Check to make sure disks are cabled and
powered up.
Enter F2 to exit to a command prompt.
The LUN needs to be labeled. Exit the installation process to a shell prompt.
NOTE: The “No disks found” message appears if the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage volume
is the only disk attached to the host or if there are multiple disks attached to the host but none
are labeled. If there are labeled disks that will not be used to install Solaris, a list of disks will
be presented, but the unlabeled HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage VLUN will not be selectable as
an install target. In this case, exit and proceed to the next step.
7. On the host server, issue the format command to label the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage VLUN.
