Getting FC SAN Port Info

[Jack Trachtman]

OpenVMS V8.3

Is there something equivalent to the LANCP cmd SHOW DEV/CHARACTERISTICS for a SAN device? I'm interested in seeing basic info such as link status (up/down), connect speed, etc. (The SANCP pgm seems lame.) TIA

For the speed see this post

Hi,

From the below command output, the keywords online and mounted indicates the status of the disk.

$ pipe show dev /full sys$sysdevice: | sea sys$pipe disk
Disk WILD8$DKB300:, device type COMPAQ BF03665223, is online, mounted, file-
$
Here the disk is present and is mounted

$ pipe show dev /full $10$DKA0: | sea sys$pipe disk
Disk $10$DKA0: (BRAMHA), device type HP 36.4G MAX3036NC, is online, file-
$
Here the disk is present but is not mounted
