Backup Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager's configuration
In Sun manuals, I didn't find how to backup Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager's configuration. Is there a way to do it like backing up Brocade switch configuration? CAM is under Solaris 10.
Hi!
May be Solaris forum is not the best choice for asking such question, but I really need help with SunStorage FC array. AFAIK this array can be configured only with CAM software by Sun, but sadly all previously free Metalink downloads are now accessible only as a part of paid support (and I... (0 Replies)
Hi,
I have a question about Sun StorageTek Common Array Manager (CAM): What is the concept of 'host'? Is it the hostname of the server that has access to the managed array? If so, can I use its IP instead of its hostname?
I've found a 'host' under CAM called XYZ (See below). In our... (7 Replies)
Hi!
I have Sun StorageTek 2540 FC array and CAM works very slowly - I can wait for software response even more than 2 minutes... I run this software on Windows machine with Firefox Web Browser but speed is terrible... How can I make it works at least a little bit faster?.. (2 Replies)
Hello,
Wondering if anyone can help me with mounting a file share from my Sun T2000 server running Solaris 10 to my connected 2530 disk array?
I believe I've connected the disk array correctly and I have created a volume on the array using the filesystem (Sun_SAM-FS, RAID-5).
The T2000... (15 Replies)
Hi,
We have 12x1TB SATA disks in our array and I need to create 10TB volume. I defined new storage profile on array and when I tried to add volume, I faced with ~2TB limit for new volumes. I didn't find how to set another limit on my storage profile. Is there is a way to configure one large... (3 Replies)
CISS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual CISS(4)NAME
ciss -- Common Interface for SCSI-3 Support driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device scbus
device ciss
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
ciss_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The ciss driver claims to provide a common interface between generic SCSI transports and intelligent host adapters.
The ciss driver supports CISS as defined in the document entitled CISS Command Interface for SCSI-3 Support Open Specification, Version 1.04,
Valence Number 1, dated 2000/11/27, produced by Compaq Computer Corporation.
We provide a shim layer between the ciss interface and CAM(4), offloading most of the queueing and being-a-disk chores onto CAM. Entry to
the driver is via the PCI bus attachment ciss_probe(), ciss_attach(), etc. and via the CAM interface ciss_cam_action(), and ciss_cam_poll().
The Compaq ciss adapters require faked responses to get reasonable behavior out of them. In addition, the ciss command set is by no means
adequate to support the functionality of a RAID controller, and thus the supported Compaq adapters utilize portions of the control protocol
from earlier Compaq adapter families.
Currently ciss supports the ``simple'' and ``performant'' transport layer.
Non-disk devices (such as internal DATs and devices attached to the external SCSI bus) are supported as normal CAM devices provided that they
are exported by the controller firmware and are not marked as being masked. Masked devices can be exposed by setting the
hw.ciss.expose_hidden_physical tunable to non-zero at boot time. Direct Access devices (such as disk drives) are only exposed as pass(4)
devices. Hot-insertion and removal of devices is supported and notification messages will be reported to the console and logs.
The problem which adapter freezes with the message ``ADAPTER HEARTBEAT FAILED'' might be solved by updating the firmware and/or setting the
hw.ciss.nop_message_heartbeat tunable to non-zero at boot time.
