After migration, Solaris hosts require remediation steps to ensure the newly imported LUNs are properly recognized and functional.

Post-Migration - Offline FLI

For offline FLI, bring the LUN online after deleting the lun import and confirming host initiators are connected.

Step 1: Rescan storage on all the mapped Solaris hosts

Step 1: PowerON the server

Step 2: identify the multipath devices

Step 2: identify the multipath devices

Step 2: identify the multipath devices

Step 2: On the SPARC server OBP, configure the new boot device that is presented to this Host HBA

Step 3: Check for the Pool details

Step 3: Identify the multipath device ID and present it to the respective application.

Step 3: check the pool status

Step 3: Check for the filesystem details

Step 3: Restart the host to boot from newly mapped LUN that is part of LUN Import

Step 4: Mount the devices back to the respective folders

Step 4: Import the Pool

Step 4: verify the required cluster configuration and start the cluster application

Step 5: List down the FS present on the Pool

Step 5: Validate the cluster status and the apllication that is consuming.

Step 6: Mount the FS back to the respective folders

Steps

  1. Rescan after attaching.

    cfgadm -al

  2. Identify storage devices.

    format
sanlun lun show all
mpathadm list lu
mpathadm show lu

  3. Verify device is attached.

    format |grep disk_id

  4. Import the zpool and FS will automatically mounted.

    zpool import zpool_name
df -g (to ensure its unmounted)

Post-Migration - Online FLI

After deleting the LUN import, check if the LUN is set with -space-reserve disabled and -space-allocation enabled. If not, modify it accordingly.
