How to List Disks(LUNs) in a System with their Sizes

[Alzhy]

Q quickie...

Is there a tool in HP-UX (similar to EMC's inquire) that lists all disks with thier capacities? I am trying to inventory the LUNs (from an EVA) allocated to an HPUX box. ioscan lists the disks but no capacities. SAM only shows the 1st LUN....

Thanks..

You need to use 'diskinfo'

The following shell code should give you what you need.

ioscan -funCdisk | awk ' /rdsk/ {print $2}' | while read disk
do
diskinfo $disk
done

It might hang for a moment or two while looking at CD-ROMS.

you'll need to go through each and everyone of them separately, but the command diskinfo will give you the size of your LUN.

#diskinfo /dev/rdsk/cntndn

No, I dont believe there is a tool to do it. You need to write a script to collate this info and display it in one go.

We use EMC's inq.HP (or syminq or inq). Its a small binary and it works fine on HP servers which dont have EMC. Gives a nice single view of all luns and their sizes.

Hi,

# cd /dev/rdsk
# for DISK in *
do
SIZE=$(diskinfo $DISK | grep size: | awk '{print $2}')
echo "$DISK Capacity: $SIZE Kbytes"
done
#

Pls note that more than one device file can be referring to the same LUN. So a literal addition of all the sizes displayed would not be accurate.

Anyone knows if EMC's inquire or syminq is a free tool? Where to download if free?

Also, take a look at this:

Document id: DKKBRC00006641 "Only first LUN of 3rd party disk array visible in SAM"

Duncan(et al) you should probably post that script to Bill McNamara's scripts that sysadmins should not be without thread.

My version of the script showed all disks, though it did hang for a while on the cd-rom.

Another mod would be converting the diskinfo output to Megabytes or Gigabytes.

Good Show.

If you mount luns of different sizes, they should show up in SAM. (ie, 3 luns: all 500GB, will only show one, 3 luns: 500GB, 501GB, 502GB, will all show up in SAM.)

Hope it helps.

Just a thought or 2...

Since your asking Im guessing you don't have syminq/inq commands.

On my EMC frames, all my LUNS are set to a "standard" size. Do you have different sized LUNs in your Storage? It makes life alot easier with BCVs and creating new VGs/LVs.

Here is a script one of our great techs wrote, you can modify it... It includeds the verbose version of the display commands so you might want to remove the -v option.

Hi Nelson,

As mentioned before, you can use a combination of 'ioscan -fnkC disk' and 'diskinfo' commands to get what you need. There isn't a default tool like EMC's syminq or XP's xpinfo. But you can run "/opt/ignite/bin/print_manifest" or "sysinfo" to get the same information in a more readable format. They will print the other information also.

Try searching this forums for sysinfo.

Hi,

EMC inq and syminq is not a free tool but it doesn't required any lic.
