How to make Solaris 10 detect new LUNs from Symmetrix-DMX (without reboot)

  • Follow


Friends
I exposed a new LUN from Symmetrix FC Storage array (verified that
binding and masking records are correct) to a Solaris 10 box. But this
new LUN is not detected by OS despite running "devfsadm -c disk"
several times. However I can see the LUN after rebooting the machine
(reboot -- -r). I am not sure if I am doing enough to make Solaris
detect the new LUN, if not can someone please advise what I should be
doing. I dont see any errors in /var/adm/messages too.

This is my configuration.
      OS:                 Solaris 10
      HBA:               Emulex LP8000
      Lun assigned:  103
      Storage:           Symmetrix DMX 3000

Appreciate a lot any help provided. Let me know if I need to provide
any more information.

Thanks in advance
Pavan

run

cfgadm -al

then devfs -Cv [or whatever flags you like]

echo | format 

will then show the new LUNs

Thanks a lot, running "cfgadm -al" helped.
