SAN-based LUNs

running Solaris10 with Qlogic FC adapters connected to a multi-host FC array..using VXFS/VXVM..

Is there in Solaris10 or using some Qlogic drivers to filter out only the LUNs this host can see ??

Normally this is done by LUN masking in the FC switch or the FC array itself..however, neither is available on this case.

Currently this host sees LUNs from other servers..??

Solaris 10 11/06 release you can do host based masking using fp.conf (/kernel/drv/fp.conf). Assuming you are using solaris provided leadville drivers.

pwwn-lun-blacklist
Allows you to specify target port WWNs and LUN numbers you do not want configured. LUN numbers are interpreted as decimals. White spaces and commas (',') can be used in the list of LUN numbers.
haven't tried it myself Smilie, YMMV

Code:
     #
     # pwwn-lun-blacklist=
     # "target-port-wwn,lun-list"
     #
     # To prevent LUNs 1 and 2 from being configured for target
     # port 510000f010fd92a1 and target port 510000e012079df1, set:
     #
     # pwwn-lun-blacklist=
     # "510000f010fd92a1,1,2",
     # "510000e012079df1,1,2";

I think your problem is actually the fact that from the storage array side you're exporting all the LUNs to all the hosts. It would be interesting to see if the other hosts in your environment behave similarly (meaning, they see all the LUNs, including the ones assigned to your particular problematic host). Depending on what type of array you have, you can create LUNs on it and export them solely to unique initiators, based on the latter's HBA's WWN. No need for LUN masking in that case.

Do you have zoning enabled ?
