Operating Systems Solaris How to mount a NetApp snapshoot to a Solaris server? Post 302967671 by hicksd8 on Friday 26th of February 2016 06:49:53 AM

No, you shouldn't need to use the 'format' command and, indeed, it could be risky to do so (in case it writes anything to the filesystem eg, new label).

You have said that the filesystem is 'ufs' and I assume the connectivity is over Ethernet? Or is it fibre channel?

Assuming it's over ethernet then the NetApp has an ip address so you can prove the LUN's availability to your Solaris host with

Code:
# showmount <NetApp ip address>

This will show you any NFS handles that the NetApp is publishing that your Solaris host could access. If you see a NFS handle available and you have a local mountpoint (or you create one), you can issue the mount command directly.

If the above 'showmount' doesn't show the available NFS handle then your network storage boys haven't published it properly.

Hope that helps.
