add new luns from VA Array

[brian_31]

I have used cvui to add new luns. but even after doing ioscan and insf -eCdisk i am not getting to see the new luns from the OS. Is there anything on the VA Array i should try and do before i see them from OS?

Thanks

Is secure manager in use?

You can see this from the GUI.
But you can also try to read out the secure manager table:

# armsecure -r -f lun_security.txt -p AUTORAID

(this will store the table in a file called "lun_security.txt".

So you have to create the entries for the new LUN now and apply the table to the VA.

Thanks Again..is there a way we can do this in command line?

[Torsten.]

Yes, you need to find out the WWN of your FC HBAs in server (fcmsutil /dev/tdx or fcdx), edit the file and write it back to the array.

For the syntax see the manual.

IIRC it is armsecure -w ... (for write).
