Any script/tool to check multipathing of VGs to XP Array

[Q4you]

We are planning to upgrade the f/w on our XP1024 soon. This f/w requires one of the path to unavailable during the upgrade.

We wish to verify thro' a script that all configured VGs have multiple paths to ACP pairs ( redundant clusters). One way to verify using vgdisplay VG by VG and looking at XP output. Since we have large numbers of servers and if there is a tool/script out there which can check in one go would be a great help.

TIA,

what about xpinfo?
That gives a lot of detailed information that you could use.

for i in $(ls -1d /dev/vg*)
do
vgdisplay -v ${i} | grep -i "PV Name" | awk '{print $3}') >> /tmp/disk_list
done.

for a in $(cat /tmp/disk_list)
do
pvdisplay ${a} | grep -iE "PV Name|VG Name|Alternate" >> /tmp/details
done.

Check /tmp/details file

Thanks for replies folks..I still to ensure that the PV links are actually on different Clusters on XP. when HP folks do f/w upgrade, they do on one cluster while other cluster remains active. So not only alternate links/VG but also alternate links on XP cluster to redundant.

Any more ideas ?

Hey;

You can check out the script I posted in this thread. That may be what you're looking for...

I hate to state the obvious, but could you not verify this at the XP?
Your scsi path assignments should verify multiple pathing.

Best of luck.
