LUN Setup
This is just a reference on how it looks if you want to create a LUN from the commandline using lun setup
:
storage01> lun setup This setup will take you through the steps needed to create LUNs and to make them accessible by initiators. You can type ^C (Control-C) at any time to abort the setup and no unconfirmed changes will be made to the system. Do you want to create a LUN? [y]: Multiprotocol type of LUN (solaris/windows/hpux/aix/linux/netware/vmware/windows_gpt/windows_2008/xen/hyper_v/solaris_efi) [linux]: A LUN path must be absolute. A LUN can only reside in a volume or qtree root. For example, to create a LUN with name "lun0" in the qtree root /vol/vol1/q0, specify the path as "/vol/vol1/q0/lun0". Enter LUN path: /vol1/lun1 "/vol1/lun1" is not a valid LUN path. Valid LUN paths should be absolute and should start with /vol/. Enter LUN path: /vol/vol1/lun1 A LUN can be created with or without space reservations being enabled. Space reservation guarantees that data writes to that LUN will never fail. Do you want the LUN to be space reserved? [y]: Size for a LUN is specified in bytes. You can use single-character multiplier suffixes: b(sectors), k(KB), m(MB), g(GB) or t(TB). Enter LUN size: 1g Mon May 16 10:45:47 CEST [lun.vdisk.spaceReservationNotHonored:notice]: Space reservations in vol1 are not being honored, either because the volume space guarantee is set to 'none' or the guarantee is currently disabled due to lack of space in the aggregate. You can add a comment string to describe the contents of the LUN. Please type a string (without quotes), or hit ENTER if you don't want to supply a comment. Enter comment string: The LUN will be accessible to an initiator group. You can use an existing group name, or supply a new name to create a new initiator group. Enter '?' to see existing initiator group names. Name of initiator group []: Mon May 16 10:48:54 CEST [perf.archive.max_disk_space.changed:info]: Maximum disk space consumption allowed for the performance archiver was changed from '5072159' to '21474837' bytes. Change not committed. scsilummels Type of initiator group scsilummels (FCP/iSCSI) [iSCSI]: An iSCSI initiator group is a collection of initiator node names.Each node name can begin with either 'eui.' or 'iqn.' and should be in the following formats: eui.{EUI-64 address} or iqn.yyyy-mm.{reversed domain name}:{optional string composed of alphanumeric characters, '-', '.' and ':'} Eg: iqn.2001-04.com.acme:storage.tape.sys1.xyz or eui.02004567A425678D You can separate node names by commas. Enter '?' to display a list of connected initiators. Hit ENTER when you are done adding node names to this group. Enter comma separated nodenames: iqn.1991-05.com Enter comma separated nodenames: Mon May 16 10:50:00 CEST [mgr.stack.openFail:warning]: Unable to open function name/address mapping file /etc/boot/mapfile_7.3.4.L: No such file or directory The initiator group has an associated OS type. The following are currently supported: solaris, windows, hpux, aix, linux, netware, vmware, xen or hyper_v. OS type of initiator group "scsilummels" [linux]: The LUN will be accessible to all the initiators in the initiator group. Enter '?' to display LUNs already in use by one or more initiators in group "scsilummels". LUN ID at which initiator group "scsilummels" sees "/vol/vol1/lun1" [0]: LUN Path : /vol/vol1/lun1 OS Type : linux Size : 1g (1073741824) Initiator Group : scsilummels Initiator Group Type : iSCSI Initiator Group Members : iqn.1991-05.com Mapped to LUN-ID : 0 Do you want to accept this configuration? [y]: Mon May 16 10:51:39 CEST [lun.map:info]: LUN /vol/vol1/lun1 was mapped to initiator group scsilummels=0 Do you want to create another LUN? [n]:
