Connecting to a shared LUN on the SnapMirror destination volume

Complete this procedure after you have connected to the new quorum disk.

Steps

  1. On the cluster node you used earlier, follow the steps to connect to a LUN, keeping in mind the following information to connect to a LUN:
    1. When prompted for the LUN path in the Provide Storage System, LUN Path, and Name panel, specify or browse to the LUN file in the active file system (not the one in the Snapshot copy) on the SnapMirror destination volume.
    2. After you specify the LUN path and click Next, you see a message that a single file SnapRestore or rapid LUN restore will be performed. Click Yes to continue.
    3. When prompted for disk type in the Select a LUN Type panel, select Shared.
    4. When prompted for a drive letter in the Select LUN Porperties panel, select the same drive letter that was being used for the LUN on the SnapMirror source volume.
  2. After you have successfully completed the Connect Disk wizard, you see one of the following two error messages. These error messages are expected and do not indicate a problem.

    Error message 1:

    Unable to connect disk. Failure in Mounting volume on the disk. Error: Could not find the volume mounted for the LUN as there does not seem to be any new volumes mounted by the Mount Manager

    This error might also appear in the following form:

    Unable to connect disk. Failure in connecting to the LUN. Error: Timeout has occurred while waiting for disk arrival notification from the operating system.

    Error message 2:

    Unable to retrieve a list of LUN snapshots. Error: The device is not ready.
    Note: Error message 2 is displayed instead of error message 1 when McAfee NetShield is installed on your Windows server.

    Click OK to ignore the error message.

  3. Repeat Step 1 and Step 2 for each shared LUN on the cluster.
  4. Configure the cluster service to start automatically on the system to which you connected shared LUNs by performing the following actions:
    1. In the left MMC pane, expand the Services and Applications option, if it is not expanded already.
    2. Click Services.
    3. Double-click Cluster Service.
    4. Select Manual from the Startup Type list.
  5. Restore any resource dependencies you removed earlier.

Result

You have connected to the shared LUNs in a SnapMirror destination volume.
