SanDB - SanDB Host Commission Procedure

Document Version

Version 1.0

Tim Robinson - Initial document creation and formatting for Web/HTML formats.

Overview

This document will outline the commands that are necessary for performing a host commission within the Citigroup SAN environment.

The document is purely technical in structure, and assumes that all required paperwork is in order and completed.

Please note that this procedure required the following paperwork to be present:

ARTS ticket for the commission of the host within the SAN environment.

Approved SR form.

Server connected to the SAN with the appropriate SAN stack information present.

For more information on requesting storage or SAN stack matrix information, please see the 'See Also' section of this document.

Process

The process for a host commission should be performed as follows :-

Check that both HBAs are present on the switch addresses presented within the ARTS ticket. This can be checked within Connectrix Manager for the appropriate fabrics.

For more information, please reference: https://webfarm.europe.citigroup.net/arts/

Add the host object into SanDB specifying the WWN details against the approprate lpfcids for each HBA connection:

 $>root@eusan-mgt1>sandb -add_host -host commtest -wwn 10000000f93a656f -bldg CGC -lpfcid 0
 $>root@eusan-mgt1>sandb -add_host -host commtest -wwn 10000000f93a6789 -bldg CGC -lpfcid 1

From within SanDB, the host object should now be presented when the host is queried:

 root@eusan-mgt1<182>sandb -show_host -host commtest
 commtest           10000000f93a656f   CGC        0
 commtest           10000000f93a6789   CGC        1

Technically, the host commission procedure is now complete, as the host is now added within SanDB. However, we probably want to assign some storage, so view the current available arrays for the building as follows:

 root@eusan-mgt1<185>sandb -show_array -bldg CGC

Now list the space available for the required array, specifying the required storage type:

Now assign the required metas accordingly to the first lpfcid (ensure that the correct WWN is mapped via the appropriate director):

 root@eusan-mgt1<190>sandb -add_meta_to_host -host commtest -wwn 10000000f93a656f -sid 067 -dir 4B -port 0 -metaid 0620,0624,0628 
 symmask -sid 000290101067 -wwn 10000000f93a656f -dir 4B -port 0 add devs 0620,0624,0628 #run_in_CGC
 symmask -sid 000290101067 refresh -nop #run_in_CGC

Now assign the required metas to the second lpfc:

 root@eusan-mgt1<191>sandb -add_meta_to_host -host commtest -wwn 10000000f93a6789 -sid 067 -dir 13A -port 0 -metaid 0620,0624,0628 -force
 symmask -sid 000290101067 -wwn 10000000f93a6789 -dir 13A -port 0 add devs 0620,0624,0628 #run_in_CGC
 symmask -sid 000290101067 refresh -nop #run_in_CGC

Now update Connectrix Manager with the appropriate zones, in this case:

commtest_067_4ba commtest_067_13aa

Now update all weekend work spreadsheets/switch spreadsheets to reflect that the zones have been added.
Finally, if the host OS is Solaris based, generate the lpfc.conf configuration information to send to the appropriate SA:

/var/opt/san/timscripts/SRC/SANDB/TOOLS/generate_lpfc_conf.pl
