In your lsmap output, you may not see the Status as LOGGED_IN if you had
not already mapped the SAN LUN to the Virtual I/O Server.
On the SAN and storage devices
You can do the SAN mapping now by proceeding with the following steps:
9. There are two scenarios that you should be aware of: dynamically creating a
virtual Fibre Channel and non-dynamic mode, that is, when you configure the
profile of a logical partition that is not currently running.
a. If you dynamically configure the virtual Fibre Channel client adapter into
the logical partition, the world wide port names (WWPNs) that get created
are immediately presented to the SAN fabric.
This has the benefit of allowing you to immediately change the SAN
zoning and storage mapping to the new WWPNs.
b. if you do not use the dynamic partition tools, and edit the profile of the
logical partition, you must use a slightly longer process to perform the
mapping if your target storage does not allow you to directly type in the
new WWPNs. Boot the logical partition using the SMS mode, then use the
following steps to force the vfc-client device to log in to the SAN fabric:
i. Type 5 and press Enter to access the Select Boot Options panel.
ii. Type 1 and press Enter to access the Select Device Type panel.
iii. Type 5 and press Enter to access the Hard Drive Panel.
iv. Type 3 and press Enter to use SAN media.
