Cannot see the IBM SAN storage
HI all,
I had recently change the Server storage from EMC to the IBM SAN.
but after the configuration, the IBM success to see the server HBA port and successfully assign a LUN for the server.
When i go to the server, and restarted it. i use the "format" command to check, but din see any IBM SAN.
is it anyway i still need to configure in my server?
kindly advise =)
Thanks

Once the lun is created then i need to assign the lun to the host which has the WWPN ( not WWNN ) ip address, hostname. Then from solaris if i gave "devfsadm -Cv" i could see the lun.
This is what the procedure i follow in my site. It will vary with respect to the vendor. But i hope i may give a idea about assigning a lun to the client.
How configure SAN to server?

FILELOG(5) AFS File Reference FILELOG(5)
NAME
FileLog - Traces File Server operations
DESCRIPTION
The FileLog file records a trace of File Server (fileserver process) operations on the local machine and describes any error conditions it
encounters.
If the FileLog file does not already exist in the /var/log/openafs directory when the File Server starts, the server process creates it and
writes initial start-up messages to it. If there is an existing file, the File Server renames it to FileLog.old, overwriting the existing
FileLog.old file if it exists.
The file is in ASCII format. Administrators listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file can use the bos getlog command to display its
contents. Alternatively, log onto the file server machine and use a text editor or a file display command such as the UNIX cat command. By
default, the mode bits on the FileLog file grant the required "r" (read) permission to all users.
The File Server records operations only as it completes them, and cannot recover from failures by reviewing the file. The log contents are
useful for administrative evaluation of process failures and other problems.
