Solution Type Technical Instruction Sure Solution 1010123.1 : Setting up a Sun StorEdge[TM] A3x00 in an independent controller configuration
PreviouslyPublishedAs 213902 Steps to Follow Setting up a A3x00 in an independent controller configuration. 1) Install the Raid Manager software, along with the patches on both systems. 2) Connect the A3x00 to one system to configure the luns to go over the controllers you want them to. 3) Edit the /etc/osa/rmparams files on each system to disable RDAC failover. Change this line from FALSE to Rdac_SupportDisabled=TRUE This line is towards the bottom of the file. 4) Run the following 'storutil' on the first system to let it know you are going to run independent controller configuration. storutil -c <raid module specifier> -i on 5) Shutdown the systems and hook up one cable from each system to a controller port. 6) Run the same 'storutil' command on the second system so that will also run independent controller configuration. 7) Now the luns you configured on each controller will only be seen from each the system connect to that controller. NOTE: By configuring the A3x00 this way, you will no longer have the redundancy of the controllers ability to failover luns. Please be aware of this major limitation prior to setting this up. ==================================================================== From the man page for storutil SYNOPSIS storutil -c <raid module specifier> [ -w clear host store ] [ -n <new module name> change module name ] [ -i <on | off> independent controller setting ] [ -d display information from host store ] [ -? display usage information ] -i This option will set the independent controller setting in the Host Store.
