In my case, i have a IBM ESS Shark 800 storage and have multi os clients solaris 5.8 and 5.10 and RHEL 5. There is host attached with the storage and it has a graphical utility to create lun after adding new hard disks. Once the lun is created then i need to assign the lun to the host which has the WWPN ( not WWNN ) ip address, hostname. Then from solaris if i gave "devfsadm -Cv" i could see the lun.
This is what the procedure i follow in my site. It will vary with respect to the vendor. But i hope i may give a idea about assigning a lun to the client.
