checking disk path

Hi All,
I am new in Linux and recently I added new LUNs to Linux machine from EVA4000 SAN.

Can you pls let me know how to check the path of the disks (if it's dual path) presented from linux machine? What's the command to do it?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: checking disk path

You can use lssd, fdisk -l and ensure that you have a multipath enabled driver for your HBA.

Re: checking disk path

You can install lsscsi. And then issue the command

# lsscsi -g --transport

You should see duplicate wwn's for the luns. Then if you need want to do mulitpathing you can install dm-multipath.

Re: checking disk path

You should install dm-multipath. Here is a brief overview:

Re: checking disk path

do you use any path management s/w like power path/secure path?

Powermt display dev=all might help to list all LUNs with paths including the new one
