Configuring Device Nodes With Solaris Multipathing Software Enabled

This section describes how to perform fabric device configuration steps on a host that has the multipathing software enabled.

The devices attached to the fabric-connected host port are not configured by default and so are not available to the host using the Solaris 10 OS. Use the cfgadm configure and cfgadm unconfigure commands to manage device node creation for fabric devices. See the cfgadm_fp(1M) man page for additional information. The procedures in this section illustrate steps to detect fabric devices that are visible on a host and to configure them as multipathing devices to make them available to the host using the Solaris 10 OS.

The device information that you supply, and that is displayed by the cfgadm(1M) command, depends on your system configuration. For more information on the cfgadm command, see the cfgadm_fp(1M) and cfgadm(1M) man pages.
