The Sun StorEdge 6900 Series systems' virtualization engines allow you to divide StorEdge T3+ array LUNs into small virtual LUNs (VLUNs) for more customized storage usage, such as in a storage area network (SAN).
A summary of the steps used to configure the VLUNs on the virtualization engines in your StorEdge 6900 system is listed below.
If you are using the menu-driven interface, perform the following steps.
On the SSP, start the Configuration Utilities using the runsecfg command.
Select VE Configuration Utility from the main menu.
Step through the submenus to configure the virtualization engines. See the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 Series Reference Manual for more information about the submenus.
After you configure the VLUNs, from any cluster node use the scgdevs command to update the global device IDs.
# scgdevs |
On one node connected to the partner-group, use the format command to label the new VLUNs.
# format |
See the format command man page for more information about using the command.
If you are using the command-line interface, perform the following steps.
Use the SSP virtualization engine commands to configure the virtualization engines in your system. See the Sun StorEdge 3900 and 6900 Series Reference Manual and the man pages for these commands for more information.
After you configure the VLUNs, from any cluster node use the scgdevs command to update the global device IDs.
# scgdevs |
On one node connected to the partner-group, use the format command to label the new VLUNs.
