use lun storage

  1. scan luns
    1. look for fc hosts
      ls /sys/class/fc_host

      e.g. you get two: host0 host1

    2. install rescan script 
      yum install sg3_utils
    3. to rescan luns 
      rescan-scsi-bus.sh

      or 

      echo "1" > /sys/class/fc_host/host0/issue_lip
echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan

      for all hosts

  2. multipath(d)
    1. alias in multipath.conf 
      multipaths {
    multipath {
        wwid 360000970000296800677533030303638
        alias fsilun
    }
}
    2. show 
      multipath -ll

      e.g. you get following output 

      fsilun (360000970000296800677533030303638) dm-1 EMC,SYMMETRIX

  1. reload multipathd 
    service multipathd reload
  2. multipathd on startup 
    chkconfig multipathd on
  3. device mapper
    1. create block device in /dev/mapper with fsilun as name
    2. wipe to create new fresh physical volume 
      d if=/dev/zero of=dev/mapper/fsilun bs=512 count=1
  4. lvm
    1. create physical volume 
      pvcreate /dev/mapper/fsilun
      • show pyhsical volume 
        pvdisplay
    2. create volume group 
      gcreate fsilun /dev/mapper/fsilun
      • show volume group 
        vgdisplay
    3. create logical volume (-L <size in PE see above) 
      lvcreate -L 256000 -n lvfsilun fsilun
      • show logical volume 
        lvdisplay
  5. filesystem
  6. create ext4 filesystem 
    mkfs.ext4 /dev/fsilun/lvfsilun
  7. mount
  8. create mount dir 
    mkdir /mnt/fsilun
  9. mount 
    mount -t ext4 /dev/fsilun/lvfsilun /mnt/fsilun/
