Manual Conguration for Fabric-Connected

Devices

This appendix explains about conguring and unconguring the fabric devices in the Solaris 10

OS. It explains how the visible fabric devices on a host are detected and congured with and

without enabling the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software.

This appendix contains the following sections:

Manual Conguration

In the Solaris 10 OS, fabric-connected devices are made available to the Solaris host. This diers

from previous versions of the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software running on the Solaris

8 or the Solaris 9 OS. In those versions, manual conguration steps were required to achieve

fabric-connected device availability.

If you want to manually congure the fabric-connected devices, use the following steps to

change the default behavior on the Solaris 10 host.

Note – Changing the default behavior makes all of your fabric-connected devices unavailable,

which can cause problems for fabric-connected devices that are required to be available at boot

time.
