Re: How to detect the LUN

ioscan should show the LUN, if assigned correctly.

Hope this helps!

Re: How to detect the LUN

hi,

just follow the advice from Torsten, if your SAN admins, made their work correctly you should be able to see the lun from storage with the command of ioscan.

Re: How to detect the LUN

Hi,

U can check with the following command

ioscan -m dsf

autopath will come with 11.31 by default

example as follows

# ioscan -m dsf /dev/disk/disk67
Persistent DSF Legacy DSF(s)
========================================
/dev/disk/disk67 /dev/dsk/c5t0d4
/dev/dsk/c7t0d4
/dev/dsk/c11t0d4
/dev/dsk/c9t0d4
/dev/dsk/c13t0d4
/dev/dsk/c15t0d4
/dev/dsk/c19t0d4
/dev/dsk/c17t0d4

With regards

Re: How to detect the LUN

ioscan command scans system hardware, usable I/O system devices, or kernel I/O system date structures as appropriate, and lists the result. ioscan will be able to detect the lun.

Is it lun assigned correctly? Check with System Admin.

Re: How to detect the LUN

Shalom,

ioscan -fnCdisk
insf -C disk # probably not required this OS
insf -e # Usually needed to build device files.

If you have EMC and the inq utility installed, this can be helpful.

Re: How to detect the LUN

Main reason for those options not working: you said you were running 11.31, while in real life you run the commands on 11.11 !

On 11.11 you can do a rmsf -H to remove special files and kernel entries for a detached device/lun/etc.
Every problem has at least one solution. Only some solutions are harder to find.
