Each LUN is split up into two filesystems using SVM. This server has gone un-patched for some time now and it currently does not have a mirrored root filesystem so it is just going to be easier/cleaner to reload the machine rather then patch. In order to reload I need to move the array to a different host but I am having trouble determining the best way to go about it. > > The virtual device name that is generated for each LUN is going to be different when I move the array. Is there any predictable way to determine what LUN will be given what device name? I need the new device names in order to re-assemble all the SVM partitions using the md.tab file. These LUNs and SVM partitions were not set up using disk sets so a simple import is not going to be possible. > > Any suggestion on the best way to move these LUNs would be much appreciated. > > Thanks, > --Cody > I didn't realize that MXPIO names were based on the Volumed ID of the LUN that is reported to the OS by the FLX240. This was made obvious once I opened SANtricity and looked at the LUN properties. This is a no brainer now that the names generated are predictable. Thank you to Scott Lawson for tipping me off. _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Fri Mar 26 00:42:44 2010
