Sun Cluster 3.x connecting to SE3510 via Network Fibre Switch

Sun Cluster 3.x connecting to SE3510 via Network Fibre Switch

Hi,

Currently the customer have 3 nodes clusters that are connected to the SE3510 via to the Sun StorEdge[TM] Network Fibre Channel Switch(SAN_Box Manager) and running SUN Cluster 3.X with Disk-Set.The customer want to decommised the system but want to access the 3510 data on the NEW system.

Initially, I remove one of the HBA card from one the cluster nodes and insert it into the NEW System and is able to detect the 2 LUNS from the SE3150 but not able to mount the file system.After some checking, I decided follow the steps from SunSolve Info ID:85842 as show below:

1.Turn off all resources groups

2.Turn off all device groups

3.Disable all configured resources

4.remove all resources

5.remove all resources groups

6.metaset 杝 < setname> -C purge

7.boot to non cluster node, boot 杝x

8.Remove all the reservations from the shared disks

9.Shutdown all the system

Now, I am not able to see the two luns from the NEW system from the format command.cfgadm 朼l shows as below:

Ap_Id Type ReceptacleOccupantCondition

C4fc-fabricconnectedconfigured

Unknown

1.Is it possible to get back the data and mount back accordingly?

2.Any configuration need to done on the SE3150 or the SAN_Manager?

First, you will probably need to change the LUN masking on the SE3510 and probably the zoning on the switches to make the LUN available to another system. You'll have to check the manual for this as I don't have these commands committed to memory!

Once you can see the LUNs on the new machine, you will need to re-create the metaset using the commands that you used to create it on the Sun Cluster. As long as the partitioning hasn't changed from the default, you should get your data back intact. I assume you have a backup if things go wrong?!
