Through our lab session, we require software stored on a dump server to install a solution enabler on our host. We mount the dump server, extract the necessary files, and run the installation script with the -install option. After installation completes and the system reboots, we check for fibre channel connectivity between the host and storage and list the HBA port. Finally, we configure the fibre channel controller and discover devices to update the symapi database.

How to configure solution enabler on Solaris Management hosts
Through our lab session, we require software stored on a dump server to install a solution enabler on our host. We mount the dump server, extract the necessary files, and run the installation script with the -install option. After installation completes and the system reboots, we check for fibre channel connectivity between the host and storage and list the HBA port. Finally, we configure the fibre channel controller and discover devices to update the symapi database.

Through out our lab session we require a few software’s to be installed in
our hosts, which are maintained in our dump server.
Dump server details
IP address: 172.16.10.20 Resource location: /install
To install solution enabler into the host:
a) mount to dump server # mount 172.16.10.20:/install /mnt # cd /mnt # ls # cd public # ls # cp se6520_s.tar.Z /tmp # cd /tmp # uncompress se6520_s.tar.Z # tar –xf se6520_s.tar Once the packages are extracted install solution enabler by running the script file with –install option # ./se6520_install.sh –install Follow the default options during installation. After the installation is completed reboot the system with the following command # shutdown –y –g0 –i6 b) Once the system is in multi-user mode we need to check for FC connectivity between the host and storage by following command # luxadm –e port Found path to 1 HBA ports /devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1/fibre-channel@5/fp@0,0:devctl CONNECTED Once u see the connectivity list the hbaport information #fcinfo hba-port c2: 10000000c93dbc21 (or) #syminq hba Now check the configured devices with cfgadm command # cfgadm -al Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition c0 scsi-bus connected configured unknown c0::dsk/c0t0d0 disk connected configured unknown c1 scsi-bus connected unconfigured unknown c2 fc-fabric connected unconfigured unknown
Now configure the controller fc-fabric type c2
#cfgadm -c configure c2
Now we need to discovery the devices which updates the symapi
database # symcfg discover To list the devices # symcfg list
