4. Create the connections from server to switch and from switch to subsystem.
For configurations with multiple adapters and multiple subsystems, verify all
the Fibre Channel paths from server to subsystems.
5. At the servers, reconfigure the adapters to support the fabric WWPNs and
remove the unused loop Targets. This is accomplished with
/opt/HPfcraid/bin/config.sh, Option 4, Modify Adapters.
This option allows the mode of the driver to be changed and the WWPNs to
be added for the configuration. For each adapter that is used in the changed
configuration, this modify step must be repeated. For each server in the
changed configuration, this modify step must be repeated.
6. The changes from Step 5 require that the servers be rebooted (reboot --
-r) to reinitialize the drivers in the correct mode and acquire the new
entries/Targets from the sd.conf files as discussed above. Shutdown and
power-off the Sun server before rebooting. The adapters must be
power-cycled for reliable operation when changing from loop to fabric mode.
7. Using the format command, verify that the units of the subsystems are now
available.
Reconfiguring from Fabric to Loop
Note: QLogic HBAs are supported in fabric-mode only.
Note: This procedure assumes that the Solaris platform kit is loaded and everything is
running as desired, but a change of configuration is required.
1. Stop I/O to the subsystem. Perform backups as required.
2. Remove connections from the switch and any other intermediate switches to
the subsystem.
3. Reconfigure the controllers from fabric support to loop using SWCC or the
CLI. At this time verify that the intended ALPAs are assigned to the controller
ports as desired. The defaults may suffice.
4. Create the connections from server to hub and from hub to subsystem. For
configurations with multiple adapters and multiple subsystems, verify all the
Fibre Channel paths from server to subsystems through the hubs.
