pvcreate, HSV110 and SecurePath

[Robinson Maureira]

Hi,
I have 2 rp2650 machines connected with a SAN (HSV100).

I'm using HPUX 11.11 and Secure Path.

Recently I've created and presented 3 more LUN's to the machines, made spmgr update

spmgr display and my disks are claimed, and the device names are assigned, but ioscan -fnuC disk doesnt show the device names:

Devices: c12t0d0 c12t0d1 c12t0d2 c12t0d3 c12t0d4

The new devices are c12t0d{2,3,4}

ioscan reports:

As you can see on of the older disks shows it's device name, the new 3 dont.

If I do pvcreate to one of those I get this error:

root@choapa1#pvcreate -f /dev/rdsk/c12t0d2
Couldn't stat physical volume "/dev/rdsk/c12t0d2":
Physical volume can be created only on whole disk.

I'm surely missing something... any hints?

Thanks in advance, and best regards.

Looks to me like you need to create the device files.

try "insf -C disk"

The device names should magiacally appear.

That was the problem, I completely forgot about that command.

Thanks for the quick response.

No probs!
