“Determining LUNs to Select for Boot from SAN” on page 1563.
Determining LUNs to Select for Boot from SAN
To determine which LUNs to select:
1. Open a terminal window and leave it open.
2. In the terminal window, select the LUN you are going to use as the SAN boot disk
(not the local drive) using the luxadm probe command. This shows all the available
LUNs. Record this LUN information, which is used throughout this procedure.
LUN 0 is used in the example:
luxadm probe
Found Fibre Channel device(s):
Node WWN:50060e8003823800 Device Type:Disk device
Logical Path:/dev/rdsk/c5t226000C0FF9833AFd6s2
Node WWN:50060e8003823800 Device Type:Disk device
Logical Path:/dev/rdsk/c5t226000C0FF9833AFd6s2
Node WWN:50060e8003823800 Device Type:Disk device
3. Copy the /dev/rdsk/nnn part of the path statement for a drive.
4. In the terminal window, use the luxadm display command to show the WWPN or
the LUN for which you selected the path in the prior step:
luxadm display nnn>
5. Record this LUN or WWPN information for use in the procedure.
