I just had this with another SAN vendor yesterday. The issue I ran
into was that almost all the documentation I saw told me to modify
/kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf by adding a
device-type-scsi-options-list section, but that's wrong!
You need to modify that file, alright, but it needs a
scsi-vhci-failover-override section, like this:
scsi-vhci-failover-override =
"COMPELNTCompellent", "f_sym";
Note that the second half of the identifier is the product name,
but only up to the first space!
Good luck.

Hi All, As noted below, we have attempted to test the illumos
based omniOS in our datacenter on a dell R610 connected through
dual cisco fiber channel fabrics to a compellent SAN with dual
controllers. We got pretty far with an out of the box setup until
the last multipathing bit. I was hoping there might be some
additional eyes on this list that may be able to provide some insight.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read through my following
notes on this topic,

This is a more general Illumos problem, you will open your
troubleshooting to a larger audience by interfacing with the
illumos-discuss list. I encourage you to post there! I'm
subscribed
there as well, but I haven't done multipathing against
compellent and
it appears no one else on the omnios-discuss list has either.
Anything learned in the illumos-discuss group can be
applied directly
to OmniOS.

Hi Again, just wanted to update the list with my
latest progress and
thoughts on this topic. I think the issue lies in
libmpscsi_vhci.so's lack
of support for multipathing with compellent.
When I do "mpathadm show mpath-support
libmpscsi_vhci.so" on omniOS I see
many venders and models listed but not compellent. We
are going to spin up a
solaris 11 machine to see what it looks like. I wonder
if this was forked
just before SUN/oracle added support for compellent (i
could be way off base
here).
When I do the same command on solaris 10 u10, at the
very bottom of the list
i see.
Vendor: COMPELNT
Product: Compellent Vol
Revision:
Supported Load Balance Types:
round-robin
I have verified that multipathing is working properly
on other arrays. I
zoned up omniOS with all controllers on a 6140
(CSM200) that sit in multiple
fabrics, mapped a lun, and it looks wonderful. mpatham
reports as expected,
and all paths are condensed to a single block device
in format's output.
% mpathadm list LU
/dev/rdsk/c0t600A0B800033816200001391507FF856d0s2

Operational Path Count: 4
It seems there are some options in
/kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf to force
scsi_vhci to accept 3rd party devices (hopefully
compellent) for failover,
but this is kinda getting over my head. It seems like
if I had a proper
ddi-forceload ''misc/scsi_vhci/scsi_vhci_f_<x>" file
for compellent and I
knew the proper VenderID and ProductID for the
compellent devices, i might
be able to force it. Im not sure if can use the
information from the format
inquiry to populate these values.

Any thoughts on this would be excellent.
Thanks,

I just noticed that we do have access to the
mpathadm command by
installing the
"pkg:/storage/mpathadm@0.5.11-0.151002" package. After
installing I don't see any paths with "mpathadm
list LU" which is what im
used to on solaris 10 (i know I should be
comparing to solaris 11, just
havn't played with it much). I wonder if there are
any other bits that I
need to install or other configuration tweaks to
get this going.
Thanks in advance for any pointers,

Hi All, We are doing some testing with omniOS
in our datacenter and would
love connect it up to our compellent san via
fc connectivity. I slapped
omniOS onto a dell r610 that has a qlogic dual
port hba (each port is pathed
to separate fabrics), performed zoning in each
fabric, and assigned some
luns. Now im not sure if compellent supports
Solaris 11 (i can contact them
and see about that), but it definately support
solaris 10 which is what we
use on other production systems.
I'v actually made it pretty far through the
process which is really
exciting, except for the last multipathing
bit. After mapping a volume to
the host I can't seem to condense all the
devices down to a single
mulipathed device. It seems multipathing is
enabled for the fp driver. I
noticed there is not a mpathadm command.
Anyone have any ideas? I'll post some output
from the commands i think of
below. Let me know if you would like to see
any other information.
Thanks much,
Majeed
On solaris 10 the main thing we have to do is
add the following to
/kernel/drv/scsi_vhci.conf (reconfigure reboot)
device-type-scsi-options-list =
"COMPELNTCompellent Vol", "symmetric-option";
symmetric-option = 0x1000000;
