Re: SAN connection

Hi there,
After seeing through fdisk -l (if your san is connected it will show sda,
sdb etc) based on number of LUN allocated. If your HBA is one connection
then it should be alright other wise you need multipath driver as example
RDAC for IBM, otherwise you will see the same disk twice.
Once you shuttle that you can partition and format as like local hard drive.
Hope it will help.

Hi,

1. Normally fiber using an HBA - does that make sense?
2. Assuming 1 has been done, can you see the disk with
the following command? :

fdisk -l

These are essential before proceeding.
