Cannot see the IBM SAN storage

HI all,

I had recently change the Server storage from EMC to the IBM SAN.
but after the configuration, the IBM success to see the server HBA port and successfully assign a LUN for the server.

When i go to the server, and restarted it. i use the "format" command to check, but din see any IBM SAN.

is it anyway i still need to configure in my server?
kindly advise =)

Thanks

Once the lun is created then i need to assign the lun to the host which has the WWPN ( not WWNN ) ip address, hostname. Then from solaris if i gave "devfsadm -Cv" i could see the lun.
This is what the procedure i follow in my site. It will vary with respect to the vendor. But i hope i may give a idea about assigning a lun to the client.

How configure SAN to server?

Which version of Solaris?

And did you do a reconfigure reboot? Or run cfgadm? Easiest thing to do is:

Code:
reboot -- -r
