EMC disk mapping

Hi experts,
I m looking to map the disks on EMC which are allocated to the HP box or in other words, the ones which I see in my "ioscan" output say for Eg: /dev/dsk/c3t3d0

How would I know which disk it corresponds to on EMC , after I bring up the SymmConsole GUI.

With Fibre Channel you can have I beleive up to 8 targets on that controller.
c1t0d0 c1t1d0 ... c1t7d0
.
c1t0d7 c1t1d7 ... c1t7d7

Pl let me know if you have any ideas.

Thnks
SK

Re: EMC disk mapping

Use the 'syminq' command line utility to assist. You can have 8 LUN's per target address. The controller number is referred to as a 'VBUS'.
Anyone for a Mutiny ?

Re: EMC disk mapping

As you probably already know. Each cXtYdZ will not map directly to one "Hard Data Drive". They map to LUNs which are most likely striped in some way (RAID5 or RAID 0/1) over many "Hard Data Drives"
