Conguring Fabric Boot Devices on SPARC
The Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software allows a Solaris 10 OS SPARC server to be booted
from a fabric disk device.
Boot Considerations
Fabric boot devices can be added through the Solaris 10 OS interactive installation GUI or text
installer just as internal boot devices have been added in the previous Solaris OS releases. Refer
to the Solaris 10 OS installation guide for details. You should consider the following points
while enabling a fabric boot device.
■
Minimize interference to boot devices through the following actions:
■
Ensuring the boot device is not an overly subscribed target or LUN
■
Avoiding installation of applications and software on target or LUN
■
Reducing physical distance between host and fabric device, as well as the number of hops
■
Remove the boot disk from volume manager control prior to beginning the fabric boot
procedure.
■
Ensure that the latest HBA Fcode and drivers are loaded for the install HBAs on the system.
■
If multipathing is desired on the boot device, use the stmsboot command as described in
Chapter 4, “Conguring Multipathing Software.”
