Provision LUNs on Solaris from NetApp Storage for Oracle DataGuard using ASM Technology

Create a 500g volume with space guaranteed for the volume.

vol create new_vol -s volume aggr0 500g

Resize the volume if needed

vol size new_vol 600g

Offline and destroy volume if a mistake was made

vol offline new_vol

vol destroy new_vol

Create the qtree

qtree create /vol/new_vol/new_qtree

Create the 50g LUNs for Solaris

lun create -s 50g -t solaris /vol/new_vol/new_qtree/new101_lun

lun create -s 50g -t solaris /vol/new_vol/new_qtree/new102_lun

lun create -s 50g -t solaris /vol/new_vol/new_qtree/new103_lun

lun create -s 50g -t solaris /vol/new_vol/new_qtree/new104_lun

Map the LUNs

lun map /vol/new_vol/new_qtree/new101_lun SYSTEM01 101

lun map /vol/new_vol/new_qtree/new102_lun SYSTEM01 102

lun map /vol/new_vol/new_qtree/new103_lun SYSTEM01 103

lun map /vol/new_vol/new_qtree/new103_lun SYSTEM01 104

Label disks and apply layout

fmthard -s /tmp/vtoc50g /dev/rdsk/c10t600xxxxxxd101s2

fmthard -s /tmp/vtoc50g /dev/rdsk/c10t600xxxxxxd102s2

fmthard -s /tmp/vtoc50g /dev/rdsk/c10t600xxxxxxd103s2

fmthard -s /tmp/vtoc50g /dev/rdsk/c10t600xxxxxxd104s2

Update permissions

chown oracle:dba /dev/rdsk/c10t600*d10*

chown oracle:dba /dev/dsk/c10t600*d10*

The DBA can now go ahead with adding the disks underl ASM control.
