Notice that the Occupant column of c0 and c0::50020f2300006077 species configured ,
which indicates that the c0 port has at least one congured occupant and that the
c0::50020f2300006077 device is congured. The same change has been made in c2 and
c2::50020f2300006107.
When the congure operation has been completed without an error, multipathing-enabled
devices are created on the host. If the physical device represented by c0::50020f2300006077
and c2::50020f2300006107 has multiple SCSI LUNs congured, each LUN is congured as a
Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software device. The example below shows that two LUNs are
congured through c0::50020f2300006077 and c2::50020f2300006107. Each Ap_Id is
associated with a path to those Sun StorageTek Trac Manager software devices.

The example above shows that the following two multipathing-enabled devices are created for
the device represented by c0::50020f2300006077 and c2::50020f2300006107:

To Congure Multiple DevicesWith Multipathing
Before you congure or remove device nodes, be sure to rst identify the fabric devices by using
the procedure
“Ensuring That LUN Level Information Is Visible” on page 81.
In this example, an Ap_Id on a fabric-connected host port is a path to the Sun StorageTek
Trac Manager software device. For example, all devices with a path through c2 are to be
congured, but none through c0 are to be congured. c2 is an attachment point from the host
to the fabric, whereas c2::50020f2300006107 is an attachment point from the storage to the
fabric. A host detects all the storage devices in a fabric for which it is congured.
Conguring an Ap_Id on the device that has already been congured through another Ap_Id
results in an additional path to the previously congured device. A new device node is not
created in this case. The device node is created only the rst time an Ap_Id to the corresponding
device is congured.
