Hi Admins,

B.11.23

What are the simple methods to find out new luns assigned by storage team.

I am following below step.

Compare lvmtab and ioscan -fnC disk output.The disk entry not found in lvmtab are the new luns


Please suggest if any simple method available to recognize new luns

Hi,
this was discussed yesterday:

Read this topic please:

You need to run 'ioscan -fn' . Then 'insf -C disk' to see the new DSF . If you are in doubt that which DSF is which CU:LDEV on the disk array, then 'xpinfo' (if the storage is XP) or 'evainfo' might help you.

If you run ioscan you will find the new disks without device files. Then you need to run insf, but you already know what disks are new.


Depending on the type of array you may also use tools like evainfo, xpinfo, etc ...

u can also try
#autopath discover all
#autopath display all

it will show the storage lun's

After running insf -eCdisk, you can simply list the new device files:

ll -rt /dev/dsk

The new device files are at the bottom of the list.
