EMC Fibre Channel with QLogic Host Bus Adapters in the Solaris Environment
Configuring a Boot Device on the EMC Storage Array
Creating file systems
Create file systems on the required partitions in the designated
Symmetrix Boot device.
Below is an example in which the OS is being copied to a Symmetrix
device of Target 0 LUN 0 on controller 3:
To use a different Symmetrix Device, change
t0 to t<Symmetrix
Device target number>
. To use a different controller, change c3 to
c<controller number>. You must create both the root partition
(slice 0) and the
/usr partition (slice 6). You should also create other
partitions (
/export/home, /var, /opt) to mirror the current layout.
Use the newfs command to create the file systems.
Installing a bootblk
Install a bootblk (the information required by the host to boot the
operating system) on the root partition of the Symmetrix boot device.
1. Use the 'uname -a' command to determine the architecture of the
workstation. This determines the directory in
/usr/platform
where the bootblk will be found. The example below gives
sun4u
as the architecture, and subdirectory for
/usr/platform.
Example: At the %> prompt, type uname -a and press ENTER to
display a line similar to the following:
2. At the %> prompt, enter the following to install a bootblk onto
the Symmetrix boot device:
/usr/sbin/installboot /usr/platform/sun4u/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/
c<controller number>t<Symmetrix device target number>d0s0
For example, entering the following installs a bootblk onto a boot
device of Target 0 LUN 0 on controller 3:
/usr/sbin/installboot /usr/platform/sun4u/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0
newfs /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s0
newfs /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s6
newfs /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0s7
