Use this procedure to add RAID storage arrays to a running cluster. If you need to install a storage array in a new cluster, use the procedure in How to Install a Storage Array in a New Cluster.
This procedure assumes that your nodes are not configured with dynamic reconfiguration functionality.
If your nodes are configured for dynamic reconfiguration, see your Dynamic Reconfiguration Operations For Sun Cluster Nodes in Sun Cluster 3.0-3.1 Hardware Administration Manual for Solaris OS.
Install any storage array packages and patches on nodes.
For the most current list of software, firmware, and patches that are required for the RAID storage array, refer to SunSolve. SunSolve is available online to Sun service providers and to customers with SunSolve service contracts at the SunSolve site: http://sunsolve.sun.com.
Power on the storage array.
For procedures about how to power on the storage array, see the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.
Configure the storage array.
For the procedure about how to create LUNs, see How to Create and Map a LUN.
On each node that is connected to the storage array, ensure that each LUN has an associated entry in the /kernel/drv/sd.conf file.
For more information, see the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.
If you need to install host adapters in the node, perform the following steps.
Shut down the node.
For the procedure about how to shut down and power off a node, see your Sun Cluster system administration documentation.
Power off the node.
For the procedure about how to power off a node, see the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.
Install the host adapters in the node.
For the procedure about how to install host adapters, see the documentation that shipped with your host adapters and nodes.
Cable the storage array to the node.
Ensure the cable does not exceed bus length limitations. For more information on bus length limitations, see the documentation that shipped with your hardware.
For the procedure about how to cable the storage arrays, see the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.
Boot the node.
For the procedure about how to boot nodes, see your Sun Cluster system administration documentation.
Verify that the node recognizes the new host adapters and disk drives.
If the node does not recognize the new hardware, check all hardware connections and repeat installation steps you performed in Step c.

If necessary, perform a reconfiguration boot on the node to create the new Solaris device files and links.
Perform Step 1 through Step 9 on each additional node connected to the new array.
For all nodes that are attached to the storage array, verify that the DIDs have been assigned to the LUNs.
