LUN Access
To connect an initiator to a targets LUN:
1. Create an igroup if necessary
2. Create the LUN
3. Map the LUN to the igroup
4. Find the LUN on the initiator
5. Prepare the LUN as a new disk on the initiator

Steps to Create an igroup
1. Optionally, verify initiators connectivity
fcp show initiators
iscsi initiators show
2. Create the igroup and place the initiators into the
igroup
igroup create {-i|-f} -t ostype igroup_name
[node, node]
switch i = iSCSI igroup
switch f = FC igroup
ostype = solaris, windows, hpux, aix, linux, netware, vmware
node
iSCSI type has worldwide node (WWN)
FC type has worldwide port name (WWPN - may be aliased)
3. Verify the igroup
igroup show

2. Create a LUN

LUNa
LUNs may exists in any
volumes or qtrees
LUNc
LUNa exists in
vol0 in aggr0
/vol/vol0/LUNa.lun
LUNc exists in qtree2
in vol2 in aggr2
/vol/vol2/qtree2/LUNc.lun
LUNb
LUNb exists in vol1 in aggr1
/vol/vol1/LUNb.lun
Steps to Create a LUN
1. Create a LUN
lun create -s size -t ostype lun_path
size = in bytes by default
use m for megabytes
use g for gigabytes
NOTE: LUN sizing is discussed in detail in Module 5
ostype = solaris, windows, hpux, aix, linux, netware, and
vmware, windows_gpt, windows_2008
lun_path
LUN path begins with /vol/{VolumeName}/[qtreeName]
Last portion of path is the LUN Name
Example: /vol/vol1/qtree1/lun1
2. Verify the LUN

Assign a LUN ID
Steps to Map a LUN to an igroup
1. Map a LUN to an igroup
lun map lun_path igroup_name
[lun_id]
lun_path = path name of a LUN
igroup_name = name of an initiator group
lun_id = unique identification number that the
initiator uses when the LUN is mapped to it
if not entered, automatically assigned
Example:
lun map /vol/vol1/qtree1/luna My_IP_igroup 1
2. Verify the LUN mapping
lun show m

lun setup Command
LUN creation, optionally igroup creation, and
igroup and LUN mapping may be
accomplished with a single command
lun setup
A wizard-like command that prompts the user for
relevant information
The result of the command is a newly created
LUN mapped to a new or existing igroup
10
Creating a LUN with lun setup
system> lun setup
This setup will take you through the steps needed to create LUNs and
to make them accessible by initiators. You can type ^C (Control-C)at
any time to abort the setup and no unconfirmed changes will be made
to the system.
Do you want to create a LUN? [y]: y

Multiprotocol type of LUN
(solaris/windows/hpux/aix/linux/netware/vmware/
windows_gpt/windows_2008)[linux]: windows

A LUN path must be absolute. A LUN can only reside in a volume or
qtree root. For example, to create a LUN with name "lun0" in the qtree
root /vol/vol1/q0, specify the path as "/vol/vol1/q0/lun0".
Enter LUN path: /vol/SAN/lun1
Creating a LUN with lun setup (Cont.)
A LUN can be created with or without space reservations being
enabled.
Space reservation guarantees that data writes to that LUN will
never fail.
Do you want the LUN to be space reserved? [y]:

Size for a LUN is specified in bytes. You can use single-character
multiplier suffixes: b(sectors), k(KB), m(MB), g(GB) or t(TB).
Enter LUN size: 1g

You can add a comment string to describe the contents of the LUN.
Please type a string (without quotes), or hit ENTER if you don't want
to supply a comment.
Enter comment string: Windows LUN
The LUN will be accessible to an initiator group. You can use an
existing group name, or supply a new name to create a new
initiator group. Enter '?' to see existing initiator group names.
Name of initiator group []: ?
No existing initiator groups.
Name of initiator group []: iWIN_fcp

Type of initiator group iWIN_fcp (FCP/iSCSI) [FCP]: FCP

A Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP) initiator group is a collection of
initiator port names. Each port name (WWPN) is 16 hexadecimal
digits, separated (only) by optional colon (:) characters. You can
separate port names by commas. Enter '?' to display a list of
connected initiators. Hit ENTER when you are done adding port
names to this group.
Enter comma separated portnames: ?
Initiators connected on adapter 0c:
Portname Group
10:00:00:00:c9:2d:9f:76
10:00:00:00:c9:2d:a0:63

14
Enter comma separated portnames: 10:00:00:00:c9:2d:9f:76
Enter comma separated portnames: <CR>

The initiator group has an associated OS type. The following are
currently supported: solaris, windows, hpux, aix, linux, netware or
vmware.
OS type of initiator group "iWIN_fcp" [windows]: windows

The LUN will be accessible to all the initiators in the initiator group.
Enter '?' to display LUNs already in use by one or more initiators
in group "iWIN_fcp".
LUN ID at which initiator group "iWIN_fcp" sees
"/vol/SAN/lun1" [0]: 1
LUN Path : /vol/SAN/lun1
OS Type : windows
Size : 1.0g (1077511680)
Comment : Windows LUN
Initiator Group : iWIN_fcp
Initiator Group Type : FCP
Initiator Group Members : 10:00:00:00:c9:2d:9f:76
Mapped to LUN-ID : 1

Do you want to accept this configuration? [y]: y

Do you want to create another LUN? [n]: n

devfsadm maintains the /dev and /devices namespaces
Scans SCSI bus for new LUNs
Example:
# devfsadm
Check for available LUNs with sanlun application
from the Host Utility Kit

Use luxadm probe to verify LUN available

Remember the path
to correctly identify the
LUN for the
next commands
5. Prepare the LUN for Solaris
Format and label the new disk

5. Prepare the LUN for Solaris (Cont.)
Examine the partition (slice) table of the LUN
41
format> partition
partition> print
Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 8 + 2 (reserved cylinders)

Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
1 swap wu 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
2 backup wu 0 - 7 8.00MB (8/0/0) 16384
3 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0
6 usr wm 0 - 7 8.00MB (8/0/0) 16384

partition> quit
format> quit
Slice 2 and 6 are usable.
We will use slice 2.
Next, add the UNIX file system (UFS) to the
raw device
Example:

Finally, mount the new disk
Note: use the block device not the raw device
The block device will have the same unique
identifier of the raw device but with a path
beginning with /dev/dsk
Example:
42
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t500A098186F7C786d1s2 /mnt/lun2
# newfs /dev/rdsk/c1t500A098186F7C786d1s2
Mountpoint
Block device name
The LUN is ready to use
Example:
# cd /mnt/lun2
# touch foo
# ls
foo lost+found

Module Review
What is an igroup?
A group of one or more initiators
How does an FCP igroup differ from an iSCSI
igroup?
FCP igroup contains initiators WWPN
iSCSI igroup contains initiators WWN
Can you add a LUN to a different igroup using
the LUN ID?
Yes
