How to get array info from device file

[Kyle Le]

Does anyone know if there are standard HP-UX utils that can query a device file to get array disk information? What I'm after is something that will take a device file (i.e., /dev/dsk/c10t0d0) and tell you the CU:LDEV info for an XP array or the VDISK name for an EVA array. Thanks.

evainfo available on the HP biz support site might get you some info for EVAs.


Although evainfo does not seem to return much EVA internal info. e.g.
evainfo -d /dev/rdsk/c6t2d4
Devicefile Array WWNN Capacity Controller/Port/Mode
/dev/rdsk/c6t2d4 5000-1FE1-500D-13F0 6005-08B4-0007-0ADB-0000-C000-0303-0000 53248MB Ctl-A/FP-2/Optimized

Thanks Tim,

That gives me one useful piece that I can use. I will definitely check out the evainfo util and see what it provide.

A similar tool is xpinfo for the XP array. You should ask hp support for it.

A correction:
>>evainfo for 11.31 (pa or ia) is here(actually the release notes for this says all vers all platforms ).


The release notes for the 11.31 version are wrong. The 11.31 version as expected only works on 11.31. ( go figure ;)

Use evainfo and xp info. You did not said about the version. here is the link for hp-ux 11.31
