Hi,

Use
ioscan -fnC fc (fcp) (ext_bus)
fc = fibre channel (HBA)
fcp = FCP Domain
ext_bus = FCP Array Interface

HTH,
Jeff

/opt/fcms/bin/fcmsutil /dev/

fc_dev_file is retrieved from
ioscan -fnk
It's either /dev/td<#> or /dev/fcms<#>
depending on your card model.

You can get lots of interesting status using
fcmsutil /dev/fcms1 stats
for example.

Later,
Bill

Once you find the top path for the HBA I always find that the following command proves usefull to tract everything on that HBA's channel -

ioscan -fnH8/8 (assuming 8/8 is your channel)
