Configurin EMC SAN disks on AIX
This may sound like an absolute rookie question, and it is.
I have been working on Migrating our HP and Solaris servers to the new EMC SAN and know the routines backwards.
Now we've suddenly got a new IBM server and I don't even know how to check if it is connected to the switch.
Can someone give me detailed instructions - or a doc reference - on how to configure the FC?
Hopefully after that it will be smooth sailing with the EMC naviagent and power path software.
It is a system P6 running AIX 5.3.
I have connected the fibre cable between the server and the switch, and the switch port is active and saying "In_Sync"

At the moment the 880 is using 12 internal FC-AL disks as a db server and seems to be doing a pretty good job. It is not I/O, CPU or Memory constrained and the... (2 Replies)

NAME
ad - Active Directory as a naming repository
DESCRIPTION
Solaris clients can obtain naming information from Active Directory (AD) servers.
The Solaris system must first join an AD domain and then add the ad keyword to the appropriate entries in the nsswitch.conf(4) file. The
Solaris system joins the AD domain by using the kclient(1M) utility. The AD name service only supports the naming databases for passwd and
group.
Windows users are not able to log in. The user_attr(4) database has no entries for Windows users, and the passwd(1) command does not sup-
port the synchronization of user passwords with AD.
The Solaris AD client uses auto-discovery techniques to find AD directory servers, such as domain controllers and global catalog servers.
The client also uses the LDAP v3 protocol to access naming information from AD servers. The AD server schema requires no modification
because the AD client works with native AD schema. The Solaris AD client uses the idmap(1M) service to map between Windows security identi-
fiers (SIDs) and Solaris user identifiers (UIDs) and group identifiers (GIDs). User names and group names are taken from the sAMAccountName
attribute of the AD user and group objects and then tagged with the domain where the objects reside. The domain name is separated from the
user name or group name by the @ character.
The client uses the SASL/GSSAPI/KRB5 security model. The kclient utility is used to join the client to AD. During the join operation,
kclient configures Kerberos v5 on the client. See kclient(1M).
