Starts the sanfsd program on a Solaris client. This program responds
to data LUN operation requests from metadata servers. The sanfsd program is
started automatically when the mount command succeeds so
you would not need to ever invoke this command under normal conditions.

>>-sanfsd-- -instance--mount_point-- -device--pattern----------><
Parameters
- –instance mount_point
- Specifies the directory on which the client instance is mounted.
- –device pattern
- Determines which devices (also called disks or LUNs) that the client considers
as SAN File System volumes. An example device pattern is /dev/dsk/c*t*d*s2. For SDD devices, specify /dev/dsk/vpath*c. Enclose the pattern
in single quotes so the shell does not expand the asterisk characters.
Prerequisites
You
must have root privileges to use this command.
Description
The
sanfsd program starts automatically when the mount command successfully
runs a mount invocation. A sanfsd program runs for each SAN File System mount.
The sanfsd program stops when its accompanying mount point is unmounted. If
the program is not running for a particular mount, the client cannot respond
to data LUN operations until the program is restarted.
Example
Start the sanfsd program. The following example
starts the sanfsd program for the local client for Solaris that is mounted
on /mnt/sanfs
and specifies non-SDD devices. For SDD devices,
you would specify –device '/dev/dsk/vpath*c'.:
sanfsd –instance /mnt/sanfs -device '/dev/dsk/c*t*d*s2'
