Description
After creating a new LD and mapping a new LUN to hosts on a Sun StorageTek[TM] 351x (SE3510 and SE3511), this new LUN is not listed in format.

Steps to Follow
Steps to Follow

New LUN mapping on the Sun StorageTek[TM] 351x (SE3510 and SE3511) does not show up in format.

This is an example of a SE3510 operating in loop mode on the host channels.
Both controllers have target ID's assigned on channels 0,1,4 and 5.

All LUN mappings are assigned to the primary controller. Secondary controller has no mapped LUN's. Even the mandatory LUN 0 is missing. In this case the Secondary controller presents a SES device as LUN 0 to be in compliance with the SCSI standard.

The luxadm -e dump_map can be used to show the availability of all targets on FC-loop.

Then a new ld is created and assigned to the secondary controller. A new LUN mapping is added for the secondary controller.

This newly mapped LUN does not show up in format. The luxadm -e dump_map command can be used to show the availability of all targets on the FC-loop. The secondary controller is seen on the loop.

While luxadm -e dump_map can be used to show the availability of all targets on the FC-loop, cfgadm can be used to show all available LUN mappings (see command options used in steps below).

To make the new LUN visible in format the ssd driver needs to rescan the LUN mapping. The ssd driver has to issue a "REPORT LUNS" SCSI command to the secondary controller which can be forced with a LIP. The LIP can be forced with:

# luxadm -e forcelip /dev/cfg/c2
# luxadm -e forcelip /dev/cfg/c3


General steps after mapping new LUNs

1. Check for the new LUN using the commands listed below:

- luxadm -e dump_map /dev/cfg/cx use the controller number listed in cfgadm

(this command lists all targets available on the FC-loop)

- cfgadm -al -o show_SCSI_LUN or show _FCP_dev in older releases

(this command shows all LUN's available)

- format

2. Check syslog file for additional information

3. use luxadm -e forcelip /dev/cfg/cx to force a LIP and a rescan of the mapped LUNs

4. Recheck for the new LUN using

- cfgadm -al -o show_SCSI_LUN or show _FCP_dev in older releases

- format

If You can see the disk in format you are finished.

5. Check syslog file for additional information

6. Run devfsadm manually. devfsadm maintains the /dev and /devices namespaces.

7. Recheck for the new LUN using:

- cfgadm -al -o show_SCSI_LUN or show _FCP_dev in older releases

- format

If You can see the disk in format you are finished.

8. Check syslog file for additional information

9. Unplug/plug the FC connections to force a rescan of the mapped LUNs

This operation is disruptive and requires a scheduled downtime for single path configurations.

10. Recheck for the new LUN using:

- cfgadm -al -o show_SCSI_LUN or show _FCP_dev in older releases

- format

If You can see the disk in format you are finished.

11. Check syslog file for additional information.

12. At this point a reconfiguration boot may be considered.
