Adding LUNs to DMX-4

Adding LUNs to existing Symmetri x Configuration

[From host WWN /host name , find the zoning information from the fabric switch. From zone
name We can find the symmetrix array and controller details (if its named accordingly)]

1. symmask -sid xxxx -wwn 2100001b328exxxx list logins

It will give the symmetrix array details, director , director port it is mapped to ,
node name etc

2. symmaskdb -sid xxx list -host hostname capacity

It would give all the device attached, total capacity etc

3. Pick any device from the above list and issue

symdev -sid xxx show 1270

It would give mirror/hyper type , meta configuration ,meta stripe size etc.

Keep the same configuration for  new LUNS as well

4. Symdev -sid xxxx list –noport

Select appropriate device based on the requirement(size, meta config)

5. symconfigure –sid xxxx –cmd “form meta from dev 1270 config=striped,
stripe=size=1920; add dev 1271;1273 to meta 1270”; commit

6. symcfg -sid xxxx –FA 13C –p 1 list –address –available (command 1 will give
director ,port info).Do it for both the ports. Select the one with available (*)

7. symconfigure –sid xxxx –cmd “ map dev 1270 to dir 4C:1,target=0,lun=005”; commit

LUN number would get from previous command
8. symmask –sid xxxx –wwn wwn -dir 13C p1 add devs 1270 (do the same for another
initiator)
9. symmask –sid xxxx refresh.
