Step 1: Scan the new Luns. Check how many Scsi hosts are available # ls –l /sys/class/scsi_host/ # echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan # echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/host2/scan # echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/host3/scan # echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/host4/scan For fibre channel you have to scan like below. # echo “1” >/sys/class/fc_host/host0/issue_lip # echo “1” >/sys/class/fc_host/host1/issue_lip Step 2: Verify the new Lun with the LDEV number provided by Storage side. # multipath –ll | grep –I # /opt/osit/linux/bin/xpinfo -il | grep -i Step 3: Provide the new lun details to Requestor/Database Team Step 4: Add the Alias name for the new lun which they have provided.. Example: Before change: # vi /var/lib/multipath/bindings mpatha 3600508b1001034323720202020200000 mpathd 350002ac92e6c1340 mpathe 350002ac92ec31340 mpathf 350002ac92ec81340 After Change: # vi /var/lib/mul...

While many of the controls discussed in this document were available in earlier versions of the Solaris OS, some of the functionality discussed may not be present in those older versions. OS Platform The recommendations and actions described in this document are based upon a complete Solaris OS installation using the SUNWCXall ìEntire Distribution Plus OEMî software installation cluster. Therefore, some actions may not apply to systems that have been installed with other installation clusters or fewer software packages. System State It is recommended that all actions be applied when the system is in a ìquietî state ñ one in which application and third party software and services are not active. Hardening services used by applications while they are active could have unpredictable results. Test Actions It is strongly recommended that all actions be first executed on a test or non-critical system before being performed on a production server. While the actions described i...

Single user mode can be achieved by any of the following methods :- ok> boot -s ;from root disk ok> boot net -s ;from network ok>boot cdrom -s ;from cdrom Rebooting with command: cdrom -s Configuring the /devices directory Configuring the /dev directory | INIT: SINGLE USER MODE # fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0 # mount /dev/dsk/c0t3d0s0 /mnt Perform the required operati...
