Hi,

I think following commands can help you,

vgdisplay -v
lvdisplay -v
diskinfo /dev/rdsk/cxtydz
ioscan -fknC disk

Basic.
vgdisplay
pvdisplay
and other lvm commands.

Hi wish,

just another information over the best solutions provided by Senthil.
You can see the EVA5000 disks by ioscan looking for HSV110 or HSV111 according to firmware released on EVA5000.
The following is an excerpt of Ignite-UX release notes, I post it just to clear.

=====================
4.3 EVA GL (EVA3000/EVA5000) Disk Arrays

=========================================

With new firmware released for the EVA GL (EVA3000/EVA5000) disk arrays (in
December 2005) all of the previous limitations with Ignite-UX have been
removed. If the array is running the new firmware, Ignite-UX supports
installation and recovery of systems using the EVA GL disk arrays.

To determine if you are running a version of firmware for these arrays that
is supported with Ignite-UX, look at the ioscan output on a system connected
to it. In the ioscan output for LUNs, the array will be a string that starts
with "HSV". Look at the following table to see if your array firmware is
supported by Ignite-UX:

Array Not Supported Supported
------- ------------- ---------
EVA3000 HSV100 HSV101
EVA5000 HSV110 HSV111


If you are running SecurePath with the newer firmware, you must be running
at least version 3.0F SP1 of SecurePath.


If you are running older firmware (when the ioscan description for a LUN shows
HSV110 or HSV110), Ignite-UX does not support those EVA GL (EVA3000/EVA5000)
disk arrays. These limitations are as follows:

1. System installation from a golden image is not supported if an EVA GL
disk LUN is included in any volume group to be created by Ignite-UX.
This includes the root volume group.

2. Recovery (tape or network) is not supported if a volume group that is
recreated includes any disk LUNs belonging to an EVA GL array. This
includes the root volume group.

3. Any volume group containing EVA GL array disk LUNs may need to be
manually imported post recovery.

4. The disk device file names for EVA GL array disk LUNs may change
during a recovery session as instance numbers for hardware associated
with the array are not preserved.


Please note that this is not considered a defect in Ignite-UX or in the
combination of SecurePath and EVA GL disk arrays.
=====================


HTH.

Fabio
