Howto: Disk identification in AIX

root's picture

SSA:

# lsattr -El hdisk5 -a connwhere_shad
connwhere_shad 0008BC50D77D00B SSA Connection Location False

On the other machine, where this disk is allowed to be accessed, you can find it like this:

# lsdev -Cc disk -F name’ ‘connwhere|grep 0008BC50D77D00B
hdisk7 0008BC50D77D00B

FAStT:

# fget_config -vA

—dar0—

User array name = ‘fastt1′
dac0 ACTIVE dac1 ACTIVE

Disk DAC LUN Logical Drive
hdisk2 dac1 2 a00_02
hdisk3 dac0 3 a00_03
hdisk4 dac1 4 a00_04

—dar1—

User array name = ‘fastt2′
dac2 ACTIVE dac3 ACTIVE

Disk DAC LUN Logical Drive
hdisk5 dac2 5 a00_55
hdisk7 dac3 9 a01_01
hdisk10 dac2 12 a01_04

on the other system:

# fget_config -vA | egrep “array name|a00_55″
User array name = ‘fastt2′
hdisk3 dac0 5 a00_55
User array name = ‘fastt3′
hdisk7 dac2 7 a00_55

EMC using Powerpath

# powermt display dev=hdiskpower5
Pseudo name=hdiskpower5
Symmetrix ID=000458009603
Logical device ID=60060160B0701000D474ACB0D902DB11 [LUN 126]
state=alive; policy=CLAROpt; priority=0; queued-IOs=0
Owner: default=SP B, current=SP B
==============================================================================
—————- Host ————— – Stor – — I/O Path – — Stats —
### HW Path I/O Paths Interf. Mode State Q-IOs Errors
==============================================================================
0 fscsi0 hdisk25 SP B0 active alive 0 0
0 fscsi0 hdisk42 SP A1 active alive 0 0
1 fscsi1 hdisk59 SP A0 active alive 0 0
1 fscsi1 hdisk76 SP B1 active alive 0 0

Once the LUN ID of the disk is known, the following command will show the disk label on any other system which is allowed to access the disk.

# powermt display dev=all | grep -p 0160B0701000D474ACB0D902DB11
Pseudo name=hdiskpower7
Symmetrix ID=000458009603
Logical device ID=60060160B0701000D474ACB0D902DB11 [LUN 126]
state=alive; policy=CLAROpt; priority=0; queued-IOs=0
Owner: default=SP B, current=SP B
==============================================================================
—————- Host ————— – Stor – — I/O Path – — Stats —
### HW Path I/O Paths Interf. Mode State Q-IOs Errors
==============================================================================
0 fscsi0 hdisk37 SP B0 active alive 0 0
0 fscsi0 hdisk47 SP A1 active alive 0 0
1 fscsi1 hdisk57 SP A0 active alive 0 0
1 fscsi1 hdisk67 SP B1 active alive 0 0

In this example hdiskpower7 would be the same LUN as the original hdiskpower5

ESS using SDD (use pcmpath for SDDPCM. The syntax is the same)

# datapath query device | grep -p vpath5
DEV#: 12 DEVICE NAME: vpath5 TYPE: 2105F20 POLICY: Optimized
SERIAL: 00721694
==========================================================================
Path# Adapter/Hard Disk State Mode Select Errors
0 fscsi0/hdisk9 OPEN NORMAL 42687888 0
1 fscsi1/hdisk31 OPEN NORMAL 42556477 0

Once the serial number of the LUN is known, the following command will show the disk label on any other system which is allowed to access the disk.

# datapath query device | grep -p 00721694
DEV#: 3 DEVICE NAME: vpath3 TYPE: 2105F20 POLICY: Optimized
SERIAL: 00721694
==========================================================================
Path# Adapter/Hard Disk State Mode Select Errors
0 fscsi0/hdisk9 OPEN NORMAL 42687907 0
1 fscsi1/hdisk31 OPEN NORMAL 42556499 0

In this example vpath3 would be the same LUN as the original vpath5

MPIO:

# lscfg -vl hdisk5
hdisk5 U7879.001.DQD050H-P1-C3-T1-W50C9283-L1800000 IBM MPIO FC 2105

Manufacturer…………….IBM
Machine Type and Model……2105F20
Serial Number……………10532763
EC Level…………………134
Device Specific.(Z0)……..10
Device Specific.(Z1)……..00A0
Device Specific.(Z2)……..0013
Device Specific.(Z3)……..09202
Device Specific.(Z4)……..05
Device Specific.(Z5)……..00

Once the serial number of the disk is known, the following command will show the disk label on any other system which is allowed to access the disk.

# lscfg -v|grep -pZ5 10532763

hdisk10 U7879.001.DQD050H-P1-C3-T1-W50C9283-L1800000 IBM MPIO FC 2105

Manufacturer…………….IBM
Machine Type and Model……2105F20
Serial Number……………10532763
EC Level…………………134
Device Specific.(Z0)……..10
Device Specific.(Z1)……..00A0
Device Specific.(Z2)……..0013
Device Specific.(Z3)……..09202
Device Specific.(Z4)……..05

In this example hdisk10 would be the same LUN as the original hdisk5
