WWN in HP-UX

Bruno Cunha — Tue, 22 Jul 2003 10:27:02 GMT

Hello all,

I have connected a storage with several fiber tape drives. How can I see the wwn of each drive so I can figure out in what position is each drive in the storage ?

Thanks

Hi,
i don't know why do you want to know the wwn...

the only utility i know that show the wwn is fcmsutil, refer to the man pages for all the option.

But you can decipher the ioscan more easily, and with the same information:

|---------------> Protocol type
| |------------> Area
| | |---------> Port ID
0/8/0/0.3.23.42.0.0.0
| | |--> Lun: 3 bits for LUN from 0 to 7
| |----> Target: 4 bits for target from 0 to 15
|------> Bus: 8 bits but it uses only 4 upper bits for bus

In general, we have for example: (terminology)

0/8/0/0 --> This is HBA address (Host Bus Adapter)
3.23.42 --> Fibre channel Path has 3 decimal fields
0.0.0 --> Virtual SCSI-2 has 3 decimal fields

Hi,
forgot to say that previous was the output in case of a SAN, with a brocade switch.

fcmsutil /dev/tdX devstat all | more
you can look at 'man fcmsutil' to see more options of fcmsutil utility.
Usually you can match drives to device files/paths by checking their SCSI or loop ids (or switch ports and switch domain Ids), see Massimo's post.
In addition to his reply I would add that FC identifier of storage device consists of 3 numbers, which are
x.y.z
x = switch domain ID (switch to which storage device is connected to), 8 for private loop;
y = switch's port to which storage device is connected to (0 for private loop);
z = alpa, 0 for fabric

Do an ioscan on you server

# ioscan -kfnCfc (in my case I get)

Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=================================================================
fc 0 0/10/0/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter
/dev/td0
fc 1 0/12/0/0 td CLAIMED INTERFACE HP Tachyon XL2 Fibre Channel Mass Storage Adapter
/dev/td1

thend do

# /opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil /dev/td0

Vendor ID is = 0x00103c
Device ID is = 0x001029

Similar for all other fc devices

Thanks to all,

that will help me alot.

Now some points... :-)

I forgot something If you want the wwn for all attched devices at this fc controller you must do

# /opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil /dev/td0 get remote all

the device file is valid in my case. replace it with your device file from the tachyon controller where your drive is attached.

In my case isn't a tachyon but a jnic fc card.
The fcmsutil is a utility for tachyon only ? Or it will work for jnic ?
The output will give a association from a wwn to a device file ? For example /dev/rmt/ wwn:0x50060b000011b42b
I want to get this association because I only know for a fisical drive is wwn, then I will know that the drive with the wwn something belongs to the device file /dev/rmt/xxxx wich belongs to the fisical drive in position 5 in the library.

Hi Bruno,

I'm not familar with jnic cards but I found this on http://www.jni.com/Drivers
----------------------------------------------
Determine the jnic interface name and World Wide Port Name (WWPN)
of the storage.

This can be done by searching the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file
for messages that look like:

vmunix: jnic0: Port 0000EF (WWN 50060B0000092B1E:50060B0000125F8E)
available.

The following UNIX shell command will also expose all storage
ports found by the HBA:

grep ') available' /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

In the example above, the jnic interface name is "jnic0", and
the WWPN is "50060B0000125F8E".
----------------------------------------------

So, figure out your product ID from your card and get the manual from the side.

Roland
