To Congure Manually
To enable manual conguration, make sure that the following line in the/kernel/drv/fp.conf
le does not start with an initial # character:
manual_configuration_only=1;
Refer to the fp(7D) man page and the cfgadm_fp(1M) man page for further information on this
setting.
Reboot the host.
For each fabric-connected device that will need to be made available, follow the steps in
“Conguring Device Nodes Without Multipathing Enabled”on page 82 or “Conguring Device
Nodes With Solaris Multipathing Software Enabled”on page 85
, depending on whether you
are using the Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software for multipathing.
If the original default behavior for fabric-connected devices is desired, use the following steps:
To disable manual conguration, make sure that the following line in the/kernel/drv/fp.conf
le starts with an initial # character:
# manual_configuration_only=1;
Refer to the fp(7D) man page and the cfgadm_fp(1M) man page for further information on this
setting.
Reboot the host.
Fabric Device Node Conguration
After you congure the hardware in your direct-attach system or SAN, you must ensure that the
hosts recognize the devices. This section explains host recognition of fabric devices, also known
as 24-bit FC addressing devices on the SAN. After conguring the devices, ports, and zones in
your SAN, make sure that the host is aware of the devices. You can have up to 16 million fabric
devices connected together on a SAN with FC support.
This section is limited to the operations required from the perspective of the Solaris 10 OS. It
does not cover other aspects, such as device availability and device-specic management. If
devices are managed by other software, such as a volume manager, refer to the volume manager
product documentation for additional instructions.
