Verifying that the FC service is running on an existing SVM

If you choose to use an existing storage virtual machine (SVM), you must verify that the FC service is running on the SVM by using ThinkSystem Storage Manager for DM Series . You must also verify that FC logical interfaces (LIFs) are already created.

  1. Connect IP-address-of-cluster-management-LIF in an ssh session and log in using your cluster administrator credential.
  2. Run the vserver fcp show command to check the FC service status on the SVM.

    The following example checks the FC service status on SVM vs0.

    DM-cluster::> vserver fcp show -vserver vs0


  3. If the FC service is not running, run the following command to start the FC service.

    DM-cluster::> vserver fcp modify -vserver vs0 -status-admin up

  • Creating a LUN
    You can use the lun create command to create a LUN. You can also use the igroup create command to create an igroup and map the LUN to the igroup, which enables the specified host to access the LUN.
