Using the Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array with VxVM

Installation of VxVM with the Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array

The Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array installation sequence must be followed as

documented in the Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array Subsystem Release Notes, the Sun

StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array System Manual, and the Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array

RAID Manager Installation Guide.

Caution Any deviation of the installation sequence causes the StorEdge A3000/A3500

Array to be incompatible with VxVM.

VxVM should be installed only after the following steps have been completed and

validated:

1. The Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array subsystem is properly attached to the host

computer.

2. The Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array RAID Manager software is properly installed.

3. The Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array Logical Unit Numbers (LUNs) are properly

configured using the Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array RAID Manager software.

4. The host system is rebooted using the -r flag (reboot(1M)) to rescan for attached

devices upon boot, as follows:

# reboot -- -r

The -- delimiter is used to separate the options of reboot from the arguments of boot.

5. Upon reboot, the Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array RAID Manager has recognized

the Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array configured devices and has created the

appropriate Solaris Operating system device nodes (see VERITAS Volume Manager

and Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array Device Nodes).

6. The VERITAS Volume Manager software package can now be installed.

VxVM and Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array Device Nodes

After installing and configuring the Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array subsystem, the

host needs to be rebooted using the -r flag (reboot(1M)) to rescan for attached devices.

Upon reboot, the Sun StorEdge A3000/A3500 Array scripts and Solaris Operating System

startup scripts create device nodes.
