Linux and EVA

Hasan_9 — Fri, 13 Jan 2006 08:12:17 GMT

Hello Everybody,
How can I check my Linux connectivity with EVA? I mean, is there any command that I can see EVA’s vdisks in my Linux?
Is it possible to mount a vdisk of EVA in linux without securepath?
Please advice.

You can install the fibreutils package. You can use the lssd command.

Fibreutils install adapter_info, hp_rescan, hp_system_info, lssd, probe_luns, scsi_info.

You will see something like:

lssd
sda 0,0,0,2 COMPAQ HSV110 (C)COMPAQ 3020 5000-1fe1-5004-569c
sdb 0,0,2,3 COMPAQ HSV110 (C)COMPAQ 3020 5000-1fe1-5004-5448

The fdisk -l command show list also the devices.

Thank you,

What is fibreutils and where can I download it? Is it a replacement for secure path or it is used for showing vdisks?

Fibreutils is not a replacement for secure path. The secure path functionality could be replaced by the module/driver of the hba that has multipath support enabled.

You can download the package from the hp page that corresponds to your server/hba.
