This section provides an example of the procedure for detecting fabric devices using FC host ports c0 and c1. This procedure also shows the fabric device configuration information that is displayed with the cfgadm command.
For more information, see Using Your Assigned Administrative Rights in Securing Users and Processes in Oracle Solaris 11.3.
# cfgadm -l Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition c0 fc-fabric connected unconfigured unknown c1 fc-private connected configured unknown
In this example, c0 represents a fabric-connected host port, and c1 represents a private, loop-connected host port. Use the cfgadm command to manage the fabric device configuration on fabric-connected host ports.
By default, the fabric device configuration on private, loop-connected host ports is managed by a system running the Oracle Solaris OS.
# cfgadm -al Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition c0 fc-fabric connected unconfigured unknown c0::50020f2300006077 disk connected unconfigured unknown c0::50020f23000063a9 disk connected unconfigured unknown c0::50020f2300005f24 disk connected unconfigured unknown c0::50020f2300006107 disk connected unconfigured unknown c1 fc-private connected configured unknown c1::220203708b69c32b disk connected configured unknown c1::220203708ba7d832 disk connected configured unknown c1::220203708b8d45f2 disk connected configured unknown c1::220203708b9b20b2 disk connected configured unknown
This section describes fabric device configuration tasks on a system that does not have multipathing enabled.
The procedures in this section show how to detect fabric devices that are visible on a system and to configure and make them available to a system running the Oracle Solaris OS. The procedures in this section use specific devices as examples to illustrate how to use the cfgadm command to detect and configure fabric devices.
The fabric device information that you supply and that is displayed by the cfgadm command depends on your system configuration.
