Veritas NetBackup™ Device Configuration Guide

Special configuration for the StorEdge Network Foundation HBA driver

When you configure the sg driver, it binds the StorEdge Network Foundation host bus adapter World Wide Port Names for use by the sg driver.

The configuration process uses the Solaris luxadm command to probe for HBAs that are installed in the system. Ensure that the luxadm command is installed and in the shell path. For Solaris 11 and later, NetBackup uses the Solaris sasinfo command to probe for SAS attached devices.

To determine if a host contains a StorEdge Network Foundation HBA, you can run the following command:

/usr/openv/volmgr/bin/sgscan

If the script detects a StorEdge Network Foundation HBA, it produces output similar to the following example:

#WARNING: detected StorEdge Network Foundation connected devices not
        in sg configuration file:
#
#    Device World Wide Port Name 21000090a50001c8
#
#    See /usr/openv/volmgr/NetBackup_DeviceConfig_Guide.txt topic
#    "Special configuration for Sun StorEdge Network Foundation 
#    HBA/Driver" for information on how to use sg.build and 
#    sg.install to configure these devices

Each time you add or remove a device, you should configure the NetBackup sg driver and the Sun st driver again.

See About the NetBackup sg driver.

For 6 GB and larger serial attached SCSI (SAS) HBAs, also configure class 08 and 0101 for the sg driver.
