How to add SAN disk being presented to VIO server to LPAR

[DubiousAlliance]

IBM P570 - AIX 5.3 (2 Failover) VIO servers

The SAN folks are presenting the VIO servers with additional (NetApp)SAN capacity that will be used in new VG's to allow mounting of "SnapDrives". Need documentation (called IBM support - no redbooks that specifically do step-by-step instructions)or instructions on how to:
1. Allow VIO server to see additional disk
2. Present that disk to LPAR client to be mounted.

Have done some looking in tek-tips and googling but haven't seen anything that looks like 100% fit.

Thanks in advance,

This is as close as you are likely to get:

If you need more info on any specific details then you can either read te man pages then try it and see, ask IBM, post back here, or get some training.

I haven't specifically used netapp, but after your SAN folks add the LUNS and zone your fibre switche(s) you should be able to just run cfgdev on the VIO server(s) and they should pick up the new disks.

Then you just present the disks to the LPARs in the same manner you have before.
