Description
How to identify drives in an Sun StorEdge[TM] S1 storage array when multiple S1's or Netra[TM] st D130 arrays are installed in a Storage rack.




Steps to Follow
When multiple S1's or D130 arrays are installed in a Sun Storage rack it can be difficult to identify which array is attached to a particular host or domain. Pulling the wrong drive can cause loss of data. Using the format command does not always clearly identify the right disk.
Customers and field personell aren't always aware that StorEdge S1 Storage Subsystem Manager (SSM)2.0 software has been installed on the host or domain. Many are unaware that the program is even available.

1. Before removing a drive check to see if SSM is installed.

  # pkginfo -l SUNWssmu
PKGINST:  SUNWssmu
NAME:  Storage Subsystem Manager utilities
CATEGORY:  system
ARCH:  sparc
VERSION:  2.0,REV=2001.09.24.14.12.53 .......................

2. If you get an error message that "SUNWssmu" was not found have the SA install
StorEdge S1 Storage Subsystem Manager (SSM).
The latest version can be downloaded from:

    Sun.com --> download --> System Administration --> Storage Manangement

3. Once SSM has been installed, you can easily identify scsi disks attached to the system.

4. Use the ssmadmin utility with the -view option for viewing status
messages for a storage device from a directly connected host server or from
a remote client system.

 # /opt/SUNWssmu/bin/ssmadmin ?view          (directly connected system)
# /opt/SUNWssmu/bin/ssmadmin ?view hostname (remote client)
