SUMMARY: More than 8 luns/target?

Well It works, thanks to "fishingjts", Sebastien Daubigne, Daniel Jaime and
Grzegorz Bakalarski for thier quick response.

The solution was to create the file /kernel/drv/glm.conf with the following
contents:
#######################################
device-type-scsi-options-list =
  "easyRAID Q12", "easy-scsi-options";
easy-scsi-options = 0x147ff8;
#######################################

"easyRAID Q12" was taken from running the probe-scsi-all command, the
"0x147ff8" part i got from adding 40000 to what the original scsi-options was
set to.

Here is my original question, followd by the answeres I got:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, I'm sure someone have seen this problem before.

I'm trying to get an sun 210 see more than 8 luns from a scsi-attached
sataraid.
I have added entries for lun0-11 in /kernel/drv/sd.conf, but the only ones
that gets seen by the system is 0-7.

Is it possible to get more than 8 luns? what file do I need to change? and
what do I put in it?

I have tried googling and seen some referenses to A1000 where you add some
drivers and change the glm.conf file, but thats for sun-disks and I'm trying
to make it work for an easyraid.

Hi,
Don't know, however in sataraid boxes I use it is possible to define few
target on the same scsi port, so I have 8 luns on target 2 (c2t2dx x=0,..,7)
and
4 luns on targer 3 (c2t3dy y=0,3)

Good luck,

what kind of SCSI are you using? Narrow SCSI (which only 50 pins) or Wide SCSI
(with 68 pins)? The first one supports only 7 LUN (the eightth one is the
controler itself),  the second one 15 (plus 1 for the controler).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Did you adjust the "scsi_options" kernel variable ?
If not, you'll probably have to set the proper bits according to
"/usr/include/sys/scsi/conf/autoconf.h" :

/*
 * the following 3 bits are for being able to limit the max. number of LUNs
 * a nexus driver will allow -- "default" means that the adapter will
 * continue its default behaviour
 */
#define SCSI_OPTIONS_NLUNS_MASK         (0x70000)
#define SCSI_OPTIONS_NLUNS_DEFAULT      0x00000
#define SCSI_OPTIONS_NLUNS_1            0x10000
#define SCSI_OPTIONS_NLUNS_8            0x20000
#define SCSI_OPTIONS_NLUNS_16           0x30000
#define SCSI_OPTIONS_NLUNS_32           0x40000
#define SCSI_OPTIONS_NLUNS(n)           ((n) & SCSI_OPTIONS_NLUNS_MASK)
/*

This is for Solaris 8, check your own version of Solaris.

To get the value of scsi_options, you can try this :

echo "scsi_options/X" | adb -k


You can set the variable globaly in /etc/system or per-controler via proper
module configuration file (glm.conf, ...).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------

I think you are on the right track with the glm.conf. The glm driver is
actually the pci scsi hba driver so I think you need to have an entry in the
glm.conf. Our glm looks like:

device-type-scsi-options-list =
  "Symbios StorEDGE A1000", "lsi-scsi-options",
  "Symbios StorEDGE A3000", "lsi-scsi-options",
  "SYMBIOS RSM Array 2000", "lsi-scsi-options"; lsi-scsi-options = 0x407f8;


So you need to know what name your array presents and then what scsi options
need to be set...
