Now once I have scanned in the new LUN on the OS how do I create a new FS from this space?
Can I use "fdisk" against the dm-<no> to present all paths to the OS?
.....or can I just pvcreate the /dev/dm-<no> and take it from there?

You would work against the dm device like you would /dev/sdb, et al.
You can fdisk it (unless it is too large, then you may need to use parted)
Then you can use mkfs on it to create a file system, unless you use volume groups first, at which point you can do that with pvcreate.
Here's a trick, though. If you are going to add many volumes of the same size (careful on an EVA, they have lower limits on the number of presented LUNs), you can use:
Code:
sfdisk -d <a device with the layout you like>| sfdisk <device you want to copy the layout to>
yes positive.
I ran a diff against the fdisk output before and after I rescanned the scsi_bus.
Code:
# sfdisk -d /dev/sdc
sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature
/dev/sdc: unrecognized partition table type
No partitions found
# sfdisk -d /dev/sdd
sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature
/dev/sdd: unrecognized partition table type
No partitions found
# sfdisk -d /dev/dm-8
# partition table of /dev/dm-8
unit: sectors
/dev/dm-8p1 : start= 63, size= 4192902, Id=83
/dev/dm-8p2 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
/dev/dm-8p3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
/dev/dm-8p4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0

Ok, I have created the other paths as LVM type the same as my dm-8:
Code:
Disk /dev/sdc: 2147 MB, 2147483648 bytes
67 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1009 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4154 * 512 = 2126848 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdc1 1 1009 2095662 83 Linux
Disk /dev/sdd: 2147 MB, 2147483648 bytes
67 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1009 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4154 * 512 = 2126848 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 1 1009 2095662 83 Linux
Disk /dev/dm-8: 2147 MB, 2147483648 bytes
67 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1009 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4154 * 512 = 2126848 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/dm-8p1 1 1009 2095662 83 Linux
# multipath -ll

\_ 0:0:1:2 sdd 8:48 [active][ready]
I added the following filters to the lvm.conf file but did not make any difference to the fdisk output even after a pvscan:
Code:
# Filters all SCSI devices ijn the multipath config file
filter = [ "r/disk/", "r/sd.*/", "a/.*/" ]
# Instructs LVM not to look at the path but only at the multipaths:
filter = [ "r/sd.*/", "a/.*/" ]
fdisk does not do well on volumes that size. This is why I suggested parted when you hit a size limitation. You might also be able to use sfdisk or cfdisk. My suggestion is to use parted, or one of the other tools to create your partition, because it appears ioctl has not been properly updated.
Hello All,

I have a list of LUN ID, my task is to find if disk has been added or not. How do I do that? I have been searching the forum and not able to find answer.

End time : 0204171431
into:
