Description
The purpose of this document is to provide basic steps for vdisk modification for the Sun StorEdge[TM] 6920 System, via the Browser User Interface(BUI) or sscs Command Line Interface(CLI).


Content will be limited to a basic usage using the CLI or BUI interfaces for modifying vdisks, and provide help with some usage failure scenarios for this activity. Consider reviewing some of the following documents when looking to perform actions beyond the scope of this document:

Steps to Follow
Validating Sun StorEdge[TM] 6920 VDisk Modification

A. Basic Usage of Browser or SSCS Interfaces for Changing the Name and Description

SSCS

modify -P|--new-pool <string> [-p|--pool <string>] vdisk <string>

This CLI will change:

  • The storage pool

NOTE1: The Storage Domain is assumed to be DEFAULT when it is not specified by the -S switch in the usage

BUI

  1. Click on the Configuration Services or Common Array Manager(3.2.0.38) Link.
  2. Click on the Virtual Disk Tab or Virtual Disk Menu Tree
  3. Click on the Virtual Disk Name that you wish to modify
  4. Select the new pool from the Storage Pool pulldown menu
  5. Click the Save button
  • If you received a failure notification, continue to Step B.
  • If you received a success notification, you have validated that volume modification is complete.

B. Creation Failure.

Please review the following table for a failure message and corresponding action. Please follow the action that describes your symptom.

BUI

If a message is not listed, or an action above did not work, go to Step C.

C. Data Collection

Please collect the following information:

  • 6920 Solution Extract, reference document <Document: 1003756.1>  How to collect an extractor from a Sun StorEdge[TM] 6920 (2.x and 3.x)
  • The message given by SSCS or BUI(screen capture if possible)
  • The command used, if by SSCS
  • The following sscs output:

sscs list sdomain
sscs list pool
sscs list pool <pool name>
sscs list vdisk
sscs list vdisk <vdisk name>

NOTE 2: Screen captures of the summary page for each object could be used, as well, for BUI related creations.

Once this information is collected, please contact Sun Support
