Connecting to SAN storage - whats need to be done ?

hi all,

I am on solaris 10 1/13 and new to SAN storage.

I am required to connect to the LUNs on the SAN storage and is asked to provide the WWN information to the storage administrator.

Right now, it will be just 1 connection from a single hba port to the FCport on the storage directly, there are no FC switches or multiconnections in between.

Is configuration required on my side as simple as using "fcinfo" to provide the WWNs, check if the links are okay and "cfgadm" to check if the LUNs are available before proceeding with the format/label and stuff etc. ?


Is there anything/configurations/command to issue on the OS side to "trigger" a connection to the SAN storage or further configurations needed ? (there is no multipath required, just a single fc connection to the storage)


Regards,
Noob
