How to find the LUN path and storage box details (target).

senthil_kumar_1 — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 14:24:11 GMT

Hi All,

I am new to HP-UX. I have some questions on finding LUN path and storage box details (target).

1)How to find if we are having multiple paths to single LUN?

2)How to find, if two LUNs are belonging to same storage box?

3)How to find SAN swith details of a LUN?

4)How to find storage box details of a LUN?

Most array vendors have special tools to get all this information easily, e.g. powerpath, xpinfo, evainfo ...

What version OS of hp-ux?

what type of storage array? Like Torsten mentioned different storage types have different tools to use.

Hi all

managing lun's from 11i v2 or 11i v3 could be different. Once again knowing t he version is important.

HP-UX 11.31 supremacy:

1) ioscan -m hwpath

2) scsimgr -p get_attr -a vid -a pid -a serial_number -a device_file all_lun | sort

3) ioscan -fnkNCtgtpath

4) scsimgr get_info -D /dev/rdisk/disk30
