newly added disk to system

[Amit Manna_5]

hi,
I have a HP Unix 11.0 system which has DGC array attached to it. Storage team has added 256 GB to it and made RAID 1 so 128 GB was allocated to the system.
I asked storage to present 16 GB * 8 LUNs.

Now in dmesg i can see below 0/8/0/0.8.0.0.0.1.2 sdisk
0/8/0/0.8.0.0.0.1.3 sdisk
1/8/0/0.8.0.1.0.1.2 sdisk
1/8/0/0.8.0.1.0.1.3 sdisk


Does it mean two LUNs are assigned?

ioscan -fnH 0/8/0/0.8.0.0.0.1.2
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
================================================================================
disk 25 0/8/0/0.8.0.0.0.1.2 sdisk NO_HW DEVICE DGC C4400WDR1
/dev/dsk/c5t1d2 /dev/rdsk/c5t1d2

please advice.

Hi,

it could be that you have 2 LUNs with each one with 2 paths, please post ioscan -fn.
Anyway you have also NO_HW which is not a good point, system could have problems to recognise the new added devices.

Best regards,
Fabio

Shalom,

ioscan -fnC disk

At this point I would say the new LUN is nor properly divided or assigned.

insf -C disk

Reboot. That might make the disk recognized.

What has been presented so far is one gigantic disk.

Hi,

First get the confirmation from the storage team that they assigned the LUN's to this host properly.

After that run ioscan and insf -ev to get the LUN's recognised. Then see if the disk's are showing in ioscan -funC disk

The message from dmesg buffer might be little old. Don't rely on that.

Hi Amit ,

I would also like to check,

# insf -e
# cd /dev/rdsk
# ls -lrt
will show recerntly added "LUN"

Thanks,
Johnson
