system> secureadmin setup ssl
Follow the wizard-like prompts

Verify that OS can properly resolve host name
Requires both forward and reverse resolution
For example:
DNS
# vi /etc/hosts
28
Set Up SnapDrive Access (Cont.)
Verify current permissions to a storage system:
29
# snapdrive config access list storage_system_1_IP
ALL ACCESS
Commands allowed:
snap create
snap restore
snap delete
snap rename
storage create
storage resize
snap connect
storage connect
storage delete
snap disconnect
storage disconnect

Creating a LUN with SnapDrive on Solaris
To create a LUN

To create a LUN, provide LUN access, add a
file system, and mount the virtual disk

31
# snapdrive storage create -fs /mnt/lun5 -lun
system:/vol/vol_SAN1/lun5 -lunsize 100m -nolvm
-igroup my_ig -fstype ufs

# cd /mnt/lun5
# touch foo
# ls
foo lost+found
#snapdrive storage create -lun
system:/vol/vol_SAN1/lun4 -lunsize 100m
igroup created earlier
LUN Management
List LUNs available

32
# snapdrive storage list -all

Removing a LUN with SnapDrive
To remove a mounted LUN:
33
# pwd
/mnt
# ls
vol0 lun1 lun3 lun5
# snapdrive storage delete -fs /mnt/lun5

delete file system /mnt/lun5
- fs /mnt/lun5 ... deleted
- LUN san208f1:/vol/vol0/lun5
... deleted
# ls
vol0 lun1 lun3
Verify that you are not
in the mountpoint
Snapshot Creation with SnapDrive
To create a Snapshot of a mounted LUN:
34
# snapdrive snap create -fs /mnt/lun5 -snapname my_snap
Starting snap create /mnt/lun5
WARNING: DO NOT CONTROL-C!
If snap create is interrupted, incomplete
snapdrive generated data may remain on the filer volume(s)
which may interfere with other snap operations.
Successfully created snapshot my_snap on
san208f1:/vol/vol0

snapshot my_snap contains:
file system: /mnt/lun5
List Snapshot Copies with SnapDrive
List the Snapshot copies for a mounted LUN:
35
# snapdrive snap list -v -fs /mnt/lun5
