Verifying that RHEL 5 LUNs are ready for transition using the CLI
If your Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5 LUN is configured with a device mapper multipath (DMMP), you should verify that a file system is not configured before you transition the LUN from Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode to clustered Data ONTAP.
Steps
-
Locate the SCSI device name for the LUN to be transitioned:
sanlun lunshow
-
Identify the DMMP device name for the LUN:
multipath -11
The DMMP device name can be a device handle ID (WWID) such as
360a980003753456258244538554b4b53
, or it can be an alias, such as,dmmp_raw_lun
. -
Verify that the LUN does not have a file system:
dumpe2fs/dev/mapper/DMMP device name
If the LUN does not have a file system, Couldn’t find valid filesystem superblock is displayed in the output.
