TABLE 2–1 Tasks to Congure Solaris OS FC and Sun StorageTek Trac Manager Software
(Continued)
CongurationTask Task Description Reference Information
Congure Fibre
Channel Devices
In the Solaris 10 OS, FCAL, fabric, and
point-to-point connected devices are made
available to the host. This feature diers from
previous versions of the Sun StorageTek Trac
Manager software running on the Solaris 8 or 9
OS. In those versions, manual conguration
steps were required to achieve fabric-connected
device availability on the Solaris host.
Chapter 5, “Conguring SAN
Devices”
Set up FC Boot Device The Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software
enables a Solaris server to boot from a fabric
device.
“SAN Device Considerations” on
page 53
Congure IPFC SAN
devices
You can congure host recognition of IPFC
devices and implementation of IP over FC in a
SAN. Conguration of IPFC depends on the
instance of the Fabric Port (FP) driver for the FC
adapter ports.
Chapter 7, “Conguring IPFC
SAN Devices”
Congure SAS Devices In the Solaris 10 Update 5 OS, multipathing of
SAS devices is supported.
Conguration Considerations
Before you congure the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software, consider the following:
■
Congure ports and zones according to the vendor-specic documentation for storage and
switches.
■
LUN masking enables specic LUNs to be seen by specic hosts. See your vendor-specic
storage documentation that describes masking.
■
Power management needs to be disabled for hosts and devices on a SAN. See
power.conf (4) for details about power management.
■
The STMS Boot utility is included with the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software that
manages the enable and disable process needed for SAN booting. Issuing the stmsboot
command allows the automatic update of /etc/vfstab and the dump conguration to
reect device name changes when enabling or disabling the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager
software. Note that the software is disabled by default with SPARC devices and enabled by
default with x86 devices.
■
For Sun Solaris 10 OS, fabric-connected devices are congured and made available to the
host automatically during install and boot time.
