Hi

When I say I have only one port available It means, that I im going to use that port for Solaris

I tried with



set port 08b:1 SCSI_3=enable;
set port 09b:1 SCSI_3=enable;

But I got this output:

You are unable to do that due to the port is online?

Do i need to turn off the entire processor?

How do I change the FA director's flags on one port without affecting the other port?

Best regards

If you want to use symmask (thus without changing actual flags configured on your frontend) Dynamox already pointed to a very good thread .. We were talking about a very specific flag (SPC2) however you can use same commands to change a lot of different flags and bend your FA to Solaris requirements .. it's a long discussion but worth reading

you know you can share FAs with other operating system ..

you can set flags like this, :

set port 08b:1 SCSI_3=enable;
set port 09b:1 SCSI_3=enable;

what do you mean you only have one port available ?

symcfg allows you to put offline single ports .. Dig a little (or ask further help here) and enjoy how many damages anyone can produce with the right tool

Putting a whole port offline will impact all hosts using soon-to-be-offline port. Be very VERY *V*E*R*Y* carefull in putting offline the RIGHT port

I think it's better to solve the issue using symmask set_hba flags ... Easier, cleaner, safer .. What else can I add ??
