Actually, currently on my Solaris box, I've a LUN (5TB space) from a EMC storage which is working fine, and a partition with ZFS filesystem is created for that LUN. as further you'll see in the logs, the "c4t6006016053802E00E6A9196B6506E211d0s2" is the current configured LUN in the system.
So, from Storage administration guys I've informed that I need to config our Solaris server to search for a new LUN (8TB space) and create another ZFS partition for the new LUN too.
Actually, I don't have much information from EMC storage side, but supposedly multi-pathing feature is activated (for both old and new LUNs).
Well from my box I've got these information:
I've only one HBA connected to a Fabric switch,
both old and new LUN should be reached from this HBA:
Please note that I've already used "cfgadm" and "devfsadm" for looking up any changes in LUNs.
From above log, the new LUNs are:
/dev/rdsk/c3t5006016847204656d0s2
/dev/rdsk/c3t5006016A47204656d0s2
/dev/rdsk/c3t5006016D47204656d0s2
/dev/rdsk/c3t5006016047204656d0s2
/dev/rdsk/c3t5006016247204656d0s2
/dev/rdsk/c3t5006016547204656d0s2
So, by this logs i assume the new LUNs are already detected by Solaris.
Again "DGC-VRAID-0531-5.08TB" is the current configured LUN in the system, and new LUNs (DGC-RAID 5-0531-8.05TB) are the devices which I've mentioned before.
First, before i get into detail, the first difference here is that current configured LUN is defined as "c4" controller and also defined in "/scsi_vhci/ssd@", but for new LUNs it is "c3" and they're all defined in "/pci@0/pci@". also the new LUN device files are differ in naming scheme.
other thing which I found strange is that, the "mpathadm" does not list the new LUNs (but only the old LUN):
and also I'm sure all new LUNs are actually refer to same storage, but why there are several device filenames (unlike the old LUN)
So, can anybody please tell me what I'm missing here ? is there anything else i need to do ?

Hi guys,
We have created a LUN on SAN and assigned it to a server.
On top of it we have created 4 LVM shares which are holding the data.
Is it possible to add this LUN to some other server and access the data on LVM shares?(noob here) (1 Reply)
