It depends on the type of hba cards you are talking about.

If you post a portion of the ioscan output that you have a question about, we can provide more details.

Hi,

Check with
#ioscan -fnC fc
#fcmsutil

You say "question for disk" and then you ask about HBA - what do you really want to know?

[Sajjad Sahir]

Dear friend

ioscan is the command

please see the man pages of the ioscan commnad

u can use ioscan -funC disk

Hi,

>>Prashanth
>>#ioscan -fnC fc <<

It will list only fibre channel hba cards. There are SCSI HBA cards available.

You should check with ioscan -fn command to list all the HBA cards

In case of (internal) disk this server has several options:

- "pure" disks presented by the built-in SAS controller
- hardware RAID presented by the built-in SAS controller
- hardware RAID presented by an optional smart array controller

Why not posting your "ioscan -fn" here?

#ioscan -fnC fc

ioscan -fn fc gives the fiber hba card info .how about normal hba card - how do i get that info

thanks so much for all the replies

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi (again):

> ioscan -fn fc gives the fiber hba card info .how about normal hba card - how do i get that info

You mean 'ioscan -fnC fc'

Using '-C' and an argument to that switch means confine 'ioscan' to the _Class_ of hardware. Hence, drop the '-C':

# ioscan -fn
