Chapter 1 Workflow

This chapter describes how to set up a multipath connection using MPxIO.

Refer to "Chapter 3 Setting Up MPxIO" (page 8) for more details.

When the CPU that is installed in the server is x64, the default setting values for MPxIO are

enabled.

Confirm that the default value for MPxIO is enabled in Step 2 of the following workflow.

Workflow

Disable MPxIO on paths not requiring it (/kernel/drv/fp.conf)

Specify any devices that will not form part of the multipath connection.

Solaris 10 OS

Chapter 2 Using MPxIO

When using MPxIO, read the following notes carefully.

•Before installing MPxIO, also check the usage conditions and list of supported environments

given in the relevant notes in the "Notes" section of the "ETERNUS Disk storage systems

Server Connection Guide (Fibre Channel) for Oracle Solaris" and the "Server Support Matrix".

•MPxIO is bundled with Solaris 10 OS from Update 1 onwards, so separate installation is not

required for these versions.

•Download and install the Sun StorEdge SAN (MPxIO) software from the following Oracle

web-site for Solaris 10 OS, Solaris 9 OS, and Solaris 8 OS. Refer to the Oracle web-site for

more details.

http://www.oracle.com/ (Oracle web-site)

Refer to "Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager Installation and Configuration Guide" on the Oracle

web-site (http://www.oracle.com/) for more detailed information.

Chapter 3 Setting Up MPxIO

The MPxIO set up procedure is common to all ETERNUS2000, ETERNUS4000, and

ETERNUS8000 Disk storage systems, but some settings vary depending on the Solaris OS ver-

sion.

Set up MPxIO according to the Solaris OS version being used.

3.1 Solaris 10 OS

3.1.1 Disabling MPxIO on Some Paths

When multipathing is not required for the specific LUN, use the following procedure to add phys-

ical paths for the relevant device to the "/kernel/drv/fp.conf" file in order to disable the multipath

function for the device.

Disabling the multipath function is not necessary when multipathing is to be set up for all the

LUNs that are recognized by the OS. In these cases, proceed to "3.1.2 Enabling MPxIO" (page

9).

Procedure

1Use the "cat" command (etc.) to check the "/etc/path_to_inst" file and identify the

physical pathname of the device for which multipathing is not required.

In this example, the physical path is "/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@2"

2Add the following line to the "/kernel/drv/fp.conf" file using the "vi" command.

If this setting is omitted, multipathing is set up for all LUNs recognized by

the OS.

MPxIO must be disabled for the paths of connected devices that MPxIO

does not support (such as a tape device).

# cat /etc/path_to_inst

"/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@2" 0 "qlc"

"/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0" 5 "fp"

"/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/ssd@w500000e0113ce2e1,0" 5 "ssd"

Physical path

name="fp" parent="Physical path" port=0 mpxio-disable="yes";

Example:

End of procedure

3.1.2 Enabling MPxIO

Enable MPxIO.

Enable MPxIO by adding the following line to the "/kernel/drv/fp.conf" file.

3.1.3 Checking the Storage System Status

Use the "format" command to check the path status before multipathing is set up (example

output follows).

name="fp" parent="/pci@8,600000/SUNW,qlc@2" port=0 mpxio-disable="yes";

mpxio-disable="no";

# Global mpxio-disable property:

# To globally enable MPxIO on all fp ports set:

# mpxio-disable="no";

# To globally disable MPxIO on all fp ports set:

# mpxio-disable="yes";

mpxio-disable="no";

3.1.4 Editing the "/kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf" Settings

Edit the "/kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf" file to enable the auto-failback function.

Check that an "auto-failback="enable";" line exists, enabling the auto-failback function.

Otherwise, add this line or change its value to "enable".

3.1.5 Reconfiguring and Restarting the Server

Reconfigure and reboot the server to effect the new settings.

The ETERNUS Disk storage system can be reconfigured by creating the "/reconfigure" file and

rebooting the server.

# Use is subject to license terms.

#pragma ident "@(#)scsi_vhci.conf 1.9 04/08/26 SMI"

name="scsi_vhci" class="root";

# Load balancing global configuration: setting load-balance="none" will cause

# all I/O to a given device (which supports multipath I/O) to occur via one

# path. Setting load-balance="round-robin" will cause each path to the device

# to be used in turn.

load-balance="round-robin";

# Automatic failback configuration

# possible values are auto-failback="enable" or auto-failback="disable"

auto-failback="enable";

# For enabling MPxIO support for 3rd party symmetric device need an

# entry similar to following in this file. Just replace the "SUN SENA"

# part with the Vendor ID/Product ID for the device, exactly as reported by

# Inquiry cmd.

# device-type-scsi-options-list =

# "SUN SENA", "symmetric-option";

# symmetric-option = 0x1000000;

Check that auto-failback is enabled.

# touch /reconfigure

# /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g0 -i6
