I completed the powerpath install and installed the HBA drivers for the qlogic and did all the configurations and did a reboot -- -r. When the box came back up I presented the storage. I could see the devices fine and do persistent binding with qlogic and its scli utility but powermt check showed nothing.
I had to reboot before they powerpath devices showed. Is / Was there a command for me to have powerpath view the paths, I tried powermt check force as well. I know in redhat I just do a rmmod and lsmod to force the hba to disconnect from the system but don't know about solaris. Thanks in advance.
was this the first time this box got connected to the array? If you setup up sd.conf properly ..you won't have to reboot in the future when you present new LUNs ..just run devfsadm -i ..and then powermt config.
Yes, this was the first time the box was connected to the array as a fresh install. I did not try the devsadm command that probably would have done the trick as well. The only issue I had as I said is that powerpath did not see the paths, although qlogic hba could see the luns and its paths on each hba. That has been resolved but these methods here should help me out on the next go round.
