To set up shared storage

1. Install the required FC-AL controllers.
2. Connect the FC-AL controllers and the shared storage devices to the same hub or switch.

   All systems must see all the shared devices that are required to run the critical application. If you want to implement zoning for a fibre switch, make sure that no zoning prevents all systems from seeing all these shared devices.

3. Boot each system with the reconfigure devices option:

    ok boot -r
   

4. After all systems have booted, use the format(1m) command to verify that each system can see all shared devices.

   If Volume Manager is used, the same number of external disk devices must appear, but device names (c#t#d#s#) may differ.

   If Volume Manager is not used, then you must meet the following requirements:

   • The same number of external disk devices must appear.

   • The device names must be identical for all devices on all systems.
