How to Create a Sun StorEdge T3 Disk Tray Logical Volume

Use this procedure to create a Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volume. This procedure assumes all cluster nodes are booted and attached to the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array that will host the Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volume you want to create.

1. Telnet to the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array that will host the Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volume you want to create.

2. Create the Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volume.

   Creating a Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volume involves adding, mounting, and initializing a Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volume.

   For the procedure on creating and initializing a Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volume, see the Sun StorEdge T3 Disk Tray Administrator's Guide. For the procedure on mounting a Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volume, see the Sun StorEdge T3 Installation, Operation, and Service Manual.

3. On all cluster nodes, update the /devices and /dev entries.

   Solaris 2.6:

   # drvconfig # disks -C # devlinks

   Solaris 8:

   # devfsadm -C

   After this process, a Solaris logical device name for the new Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volume appears in the /dev/rdsk and /dev/dsk directories on all cluster nodes attached to the Sun StorEdge T3 disk array.

4. If needed, partition the Sun StorEdge T3 disk tray logical volume.

5. From any node in the cluster, update the global device namespace.

   If a volume management daemon such as vold is running on your node, and you have a CD-ROM drive connected to the node, a device busy error might be returned even if no disk is in the drive. This error is expected behavior.
