Solaris SVM - SAN DISKs

Create new disk from SAN.

Edit the entry in /etc/lvm/md.tab
e.g.
myhostDS/d100 1 1 /dev/rdsk/c4t600508B40010887F0000B00000640000d0s0

Edit the metaset script in /etc/init.d. Name might be different.

If you can see fibre channels connected with cfgadm -al but there is no
disk in format output you may need to run following commands:

# devlinks
# disks

Just plain command, no switches or options. These build /dev links
again and disks-command makes new disks available for system.

run > cfgadm -al
then, use format to check SAN disk id.
