Solaris 11 iSCSI client configuration


IP CONFIGURATION:

 

1.  For a database blade, make sure network interface  is configured with SAN ip address:

 

ifconfig -a  (is net10 there and done? if not, next step)

 

ipadm create-ip net10

 

ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.100.IP/24 net10/v4

 

ping 192.168.100.IP

 

 

 

ISCSI CONFIGURATION:

 

1.  Enable iscsi client

 

svcadm enable /network/iscsi/initiator

 

 

2.  Get initiator node ID for initiator config on storage system

 

iscsiadm list initiator-node

 

 

3.  Set iSCSI discovery to static IP address of the target storage system

 

iscsiadm modify discovery --static enable

 

iscsiadm add static-config iqn.1986-03.com.sun:02:xxxxxxtargetxxx,192.168.100.xx:3260

 

 

 

4.  After the iscsi initiator ID has been added to the storage system, and at least 1 new LUN has been presented, query for those LUNS:

 

iscsiadm list target -vS

 

 

5.  Cleanup device aliases meant for iscsi targets:

 

devfsadm -Cv -i iscsi

  1. 11. It’s required so that you can use cfgadm.

    svcadm enable hotplug


    The second command is what turns on multipathing for fiber channel ports only. I don’t multipath for the internal drives. This command requires a reboot!

    stmsboot -D fp -e
