fcmsutil

Can find device files to use with "ioscan -fnC fc"

Hi,

That would be fcmsutil.
Check the FC support guide, for instance at http://docs.hp.com/en/J6374-90030/ch04s03.html

Syntax: fcmsutil /dev/tdx (device file may depend on your FC HBA),

Marie.

Hi,

The fcmsutil command is the ticket

fcmsutil -stat /dev/tdX

where x=the td instance

shorter output:

fcmsutil stat -s /dev/tdX

HTH,

ioscan -funC fc

this will show you the td device numbers and will show up as either CLAIMED or NO_HARDWARE, another way is using fcmsutil...

man fcmsutil for more details

Ashish,

fcmsutil is the utility that you're looking for...find out the device driver of the FC card from ioscan and then use that as input to fcmsutil.

# ioscan -funC fc
# fcmsutil /dev/td#

where # = card instance number

cheers!

Sorry no need for "-" in front of stat - but - it is needed for the -s
