UNIX-Based Configuration
On a UNIX-based host, after you create or delete a virtual disk using the Client or
CLI, you must perform the following steps to properly configure the UNIX file
system to recognize your changes:
1. Restart the host system. This action has the effect of forcing the file system to
recognize added virtual disks as raw disks available for use. Deleted virtual
disks are no longer present.
2. (Optional) Create file system partitions on your disks. When you create a
virtual disk in the controller, you have the option to partition it at the
controller level in any way you wish. Each of the controller-level partitions
you create becomes a virtual disk, visible to the host.
3. Afterward, if you desire, you can partition these newly added virtual disks at
UNIX's file system level. Use the appropriate commands for your operating
system version to perform this task. Once you have partitioned your drives in
UNIX, the file system assigns each drive a unique drive identifier.
4. Stop and Restart the Agent. Using the Agent configuration script, you must
stop and restart the Agent running on your UNIX host, using the configuration
program. In the program, you must choose the option to create a new
storage.ini file. This action updates the Agent to recognize any virtual disk
changes you have made.
