HPUX 11.0: EMC New Disks Allocation

[John Poff]

Hi,

You can get help on the 'symcfg' and 'sympd' commands
by just adding the man page directory to your MANPATH
variable. On my box I'm running V4.3.1 of the SYMCLI
programs, so I just did this:

export MANPATH=$MANPATH:/opt/emc/SYMCLI/V4.3.4/man

assuming you have your programs installed in the same
directory.

As for the 'inq' command, I found a man directory for it
but it didn't explain much. I get much better help by
just doing 'inq -?'. I've included an attachment that
lists what I get from my inq command that way. My
favorite is the 'inq -et' as it will show which EMC port
that each controller is connected to. A nice tool for
lazy sysadmins like me who are too busy eating doughnuts
when the EMC engineer is plugging in the fibre cables, and
then I need to update my documentation! :)
