6.1.1 Install and Configure the EVA3000 or EVA5000 SAN Storage Device

The EVA3000 or EVA50

00 SAN storag e device is configured through a SAN appliance that

provides a browser i

nterface for config ur ation. You do not need to install addit ion a l software on

your cluster to all

ow for the configuration of these devices . Information about the installation

and configuration

of the EVA3000 or EVA5000 is located at the following URL:

dex.html

_________________________ Note _________________________

The configuratio n procedure instructs you to present v irtual disks as type Sun

Solaris, which is incorrect. Virtual disks must be presented as type Unknown.

Reboot all nodes connected to the SAN fabric to detect the volumes after device configuration

is complete.

6.1.2 Make and Mount the File Systems

After i nstalling and configuring your SAN storage devices, follow this procedure to make and

mount the SAN storage devices on to your cluster:

1. Log in as the root user to the node on which the SAN controller ( the HBA) was installed.

_______________________ Note _______________________

If the SAN volum e was not presented to the host before the host was booted,

you must u se the SAN Management software to present the volume and

reboot the host to proceed. If this i s not done, any attempt to mount the

volume results in an error m essage that states it is not a valid block d evice.

2. View the follow ing file to determ ine the devices that are related to the SAN volumes

available to the system:

# cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Command output looks similar to the followin g. I n this example, lines containin g Model:

HSV110 indicate that the SAN was found on scsi2:
