Creating and Tuning File Systems
Before the new LUN can be used by the system, a new filesystem must be created
on each partition that will be mounted. Use the
newfs command to create
filesystems and the tunefs command to modify existing filesystems. For more
information, refer to the online Help for the
newfs and tunefscommands.
The following commands set maxcontig (the maximum number of blocks
belonging to one file) to 128 (-c to create, -a to modify) and rotational delay (-d)
to 0. These recommendations may not optimize your system performance so you
may want to experiment with other values.
1. To create a new filesystem, use the following command:
# newfs -C128 -d0 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2
This will create a filesystem on partition 2 of the device. Partition 2 usually
defaults to the entire device.
2. To modify an existing filesystem use:
# tunefs -a128 -d0 /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2
Solution Software Upgrade Procedures
Use the following procedures for upgrades to your Solution Software. It is
considered best practice to follow this order of procedures:
1. Perform backups of data prior to upgrade.
2. Verify operating system versions, upgrade operating systems to supported
versions and patch levels.
3. Quiesce all I/O and unmount all file systems before proceeding.
4. If installing on a system that uses Secure Path, upgrade Secure Path to the
latest version, which will also upgrade solution software, then skip to step 6.
5. Upgrade solution software.
6. Upgrade ACS software.
Note: Solely for the purpose of performing upgrades to the ACS firmware, this
Solution Software Kit supports previous ACS V8.6 and V8.7. Do not mix ACS versions
in the same SAN.
