Volume group not activated at boot after SAN migration

I have an IBM blade running RHEL 5.4 server, connected to two Hitachi SANs using common fibre cards & Brocade switches. It has two volume groups made from old SAN LUNs.

Thoughts/experiences of SAN attaching V880 to EMC SAN

Hi everyone, I wonder if I can canvas any opinions or thoughts (good or bad) on SAN attaching a SUN V880/490 to an EMC Clarion SAN? At the moment the 880 is using 12 internal FC-AL disks as a db server and seems to be doing a pretty good job. It is not I/O, CPU or Memory constrained and the...

NAME

       fp - Sun Fibre Channel port driver

DESCRIPTION

       The  fp	driver	is a Sun fibre channel nexus driver that enables fibre channel topology discovery, device discovery, fibre channel adapter
       port management and other capabilities through well-defined fibre channel adapter driver interfaces.

       The fp driver requires the presence of a fabric name server in fabric and public loop topologies to discover fibre channel devices. In pri-
       vate  loop  topologies,	the  driver discovers devices by performing PLOGI to all valid AL_PAs, provided that devices do not participate in
       LIRP and LILP stages of loop initialization.

CONFIGURATION

       The fp driver is configured by defining	properties in the fp.conf file. The fp driver supports the following properties:

   mpxio-disable
       Solaris I/O multipathing is enabled or disabled on fibre channel devices with the  mpxio-disable  property.  Specifying	mpxio-disable="no"
       activates I/O multipathing, while mpxio-disable="yes" disables the feature.

       Solaris	I/O  multipathing  may be enabled or disabled on a per port basis. Per port settings override the global setting for the specified
       ports. The following example shows how to disable multipathing on port 0 whose parent is /pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4:

       name="fp"    parent="/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@4"	 port=0
       mpxio-disable="yes";

   manual_configuration_only
       Automatic configuration of SCSI devices in the fabric is enabled by default and thus allows all devices discovered in the SAN zone  to	be
       enumerated   in	the  kernel's  device tree automatically. The manual_configuration_only property may be configured  to disable the default
       behavior and force the manual configuration of the devices in the SAN. Specifying manual_configuration_only=1 disables the  automatic  con-
       figuration of devices.
