volumes under SAN not started at boot

Hi guys,

We have a vxvm 4.1 under solaris 10, we have issue when we reboot the box all the volumes under SAN were not started. Is this a bug in vxvm 4.1 because local disk under vxvm were started only LUN's were disabled upon bootup.


TIA

    Hi,

    Not being familiar with Solaris 10 yet, here is what I would do under Solaris9:

    - Check whether the system sees the disks you need:

    # vxdisk list

    If not adjust your sd.conf and run update_drv -f sd. Then you have to go into format so the you can label the disks. Next do the vxdisksetup -i format=cdsdisk

    - Check whether diskgroups are imported before shutting down:

    # vxdg list

    If not import them with:

    # vxdg import

    Then your system should see your disks+diskgroups after a reboot. I don't know about the bug in 4.1 of not seeing the diskgroups, but see if update Volume Manager to 4.1MP1 helps.

    - Check whether you have the right software/ driver for your SAN box
