2)      To check if the ports are connected

luxadm -e port

/devices/pci@0/pci@0/pci@8/pci@0/pci@1/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0:devctl    CONNECTED

/devices/pci@0/pci@0/pci@8/pci@0/pci@9/SUNW,qlc@0/fp@0,0:devctl    CONNECTED

3)      Once the zoning is done you should restart the system to see the disks.

Reboot — -r  ( do reconfiguration boot)

4)      Then  Enable the multipathing  on the detected drives using command it will reboot the system to complete the command.

stmsboot -D fp –e

5)      Now you should be able to see the disk on the system using following command

# cfgadm -al

Specify disk (enter its number):

PLEASE NOTE : the above o/p  we have 2 Luns from DMX

Format will still show you 4 disks two will be .94MB disks ( shown in red) which are control disks for the two luns. And the other two shall be the data disks for the two Luns.

In your case you will have one control disk and one data disk only.

6)      Create a Disk pool

Zpool create –m < mountpath>  <name of pool>  <Devices in the pool>  so keep the name of pool as diskpool and mount path as /diskpool . your device (lun from dmx) will be different then what shown in below command.

zpool create -m /diskpool  diskpool  c2t5006048AD5F0C860d7

7)      Create ZFS filesystem on the above created disk pool.

zfs create -o quota=700g diskpool/<name of filesys>

8)      Mount the same on the new system and we are done.
