PreviouslyPublishedAs

Symptoms
Logical Unit Numbers(LUNs) cannot be configured using the command:

  cfgadm -c configure c#

The error "Failed to get the type" is seen in luxadm command output.

Example:
luxadm -e dump_map /devices/pci@8,700000/SUNW,qlc@3/fp@0,0:devctl

Pos  Port_ID Hard_Addr Port WWN         Node WWN         Type
0    664f13  0         50060e800428a551 50060e800428a551 Failed to get the type.
1    610b13  0         210000e08b1c4dd6 200000e08b1c4dd6 0x1f (Unknown Type,Host Bus Adapter)

Resolution
The error message "Failed to get the type", is generally due to LUN permissions
on the storage array.

Things to check, to ensure the host has read/write permissions:

   Lun Security on the SE99XX arrays can cause the above.

Verify that the Host Bus Adapter's(HBA) Port World-Wide Number(WWN) for the LUN
involved, has read permission set. In the example above, the Port WWN is 210000e08b1c4dd6.

Relief/Workaround

No forcelip option is needed for this change to take affect.
