NetApp FCP Solaris commands

Solaris Host Utilities and Host Commands


sanlun lun show [-v] [-d <host device filename> |all | <filer name> | <filer
name>:<path name>]
sanlun lun show p all | <filer name> |<filer name>:<pathname>]
Displays information about LUN(s) mapped to this host
-v gives verbose output.
-p includes multipathing information.
sanlun fcp show adapter [ -c | [ -v ] [<adapter name> | all ]]
Removes MPxIO that was put in place during an iSCSI Support Kit installation.
Uninstall the iSCSI kit, install the Host Utilities, and then run this script.
On SPARC systems, use stmsboot -e to modify the ssd.conf file to create an entry
for the LUN.
Label the LUNs.
FCP and Data ONTAP Commands
fcp status
Displays status of FCP service.
fcp start | stop
Starts and stops the FCP service.
fcp config [ adapter [ up | down ] [ partner {adapter | None } | -partner ]
[ mediatype { ptp | auto | loop } ] ]
Configures the FCP target adapters. For NearStore family you must put the ports
into loop mode.
fcp show cdmode
Displays the storage system cfmode.
fcp show adapter [ -v ] [ adapter ]
Displays target adapter information.
fcp show initiator [ -v ] [ adapter ]
Displays information about initiators connected.
igroup create { -f | -i } [ -t ostype ] initiator_group [ node ... ]
Creates a new initiator group (-f for fcp).
igroup show [-v ] [ initiator_group ]
Displays the nodes in a given initiator group.
igroup add initiator_group node
Adds a node to a given initiator group.
igroup set igroup_name alua yes
Enables ALUA on an igroup.
lun create -s size [ -t type ] [ -o noreserve ] lun_path
LUN creation command (non-scripted).
lun create -b snapshot-lun-path lun_path
Creates (writable) LUN storage at this LUN path.

lun clone start lun_clone_path


Clones a LUN.
lun map lun_path initiator_group [ lun_id ]
Makes a LUN accessible to initiator(s) in the specified group, at the LUN ID
specified.
lun show [ -v | -m | -c ] [ all | mapped | offline | online | unmapped | -g
initiator_group lun_path ]
Displays information about all/specified subset of LUN(s).
lun stats [ -z | -k ] [ lun_path ]
Display or zero block-protocol access stats.
lun online |offline lun_path
Enables, disables block-protocol access to a LUN.
Notes
When setting up a LUN for FCP access, space reservations are on by default at
the LUN level.
To disable space reservation add the o noreserve option to the lun create
command.
Turn off scheduled snapshots: snap sched vol_name 0 0 0 or vol options
vol_name nosnap on
When cloning a LUN make sure that the LUN is consistent; file system cache has
been cleared and the application is in hot-backup mode for a DB or unmounted
for other apps.
FilerView can be used for most of the above commands

Troubleshooting Questions and Solutions
Is FCP licensed and enabled? (fcp status, fcp config)
Can the filer see the host HBA(s)? (fcp show initiator)

Is the HBA set up correctly? (sanlun fcp show adapter -v, fcinfo hba-port, luxadm
probe, luxadm display -v device_name)
Do you have the recommended system setup? (OS, patch, driver, and firmware
levels)
Do you have the correct version of the Solaris operating system? (cat
/etc/release)
Are the LUN(s) mapped, online, and in a good state? (storage system: lun show
v mapped, host: sanlun lun show -p)
Can the switch see the storage system and the host? Check cables for a bad
cable by checking LEDs on HBAs, and switches.
?
Performance issues? Check LUN queues and HBA queues. Use diagnostic scripts
to get information to review/send to support.
