Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
Dear all,
I currently have a server running 11.31 release version 11.03 with around 100 LUNs presented from EVA HSV300 (XCS 09534000) and P2000.
Now I try to find an easy way to identify the relation between persistant DSF and LUN ID.
I try
# scsimgr -p get_attr all_lun -a lunid
but this delivers me around 100 empty lines on the screen.
The command
# scsimgr -p get_attr all_lun -a device_file -a lunid
delivers for example
/dev/rdisk/disk145:
/dev/rdisk/disk146:
...
there is the device file, but NO LUN ID.
A command like this
# scsimgr get_attr -C lunpath -I 27 -a lunid
works and delivers
current =0x400f000000000000 (LUN # 15, Flat Space Addressing)
This is what I want to have, but I don't want to run the command for each path one by one, I want to have a command for all LUNs at once.
Any ideas?
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
the scsimgr manul shows this for displaying the hardware path, device file, WWID and serial number for all devices, in scriptable output:
# scsimgr -p get_attr all_lun -a hw_path -a device_file -a wwid -a serial_number
64000/0xfa00/0x0:/dev/rdisk/disk15:0x0004cffffebbf737:3FD1M2SW

Re: Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
I have read the manual up and down and NO, this does not help!
It gives the hw_path, the device file, the serial and the WWID, but not the LUN ID!
Matching the serial# or WWID to the device file is exactly what I don't want to do!
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
What about simply: # ioscan -m lun
For example:
disk 17 64000/0xfa00/0x11 esdisk CLAIMED DEVICE online DGC CX3-20cWDR5
0/4/2/0.0x5006016041e07841.0x4000000000000000
0/5/1/0.0x5006016841e07841.0x4000000000000000
/dev/disk/disk17 /dev/rdisk/disk17
disk 18 64000/0xfa00/0x12 esdisk CLAIMED DEVICE online DGC CX3-20cWDR5
0/4/2/0.0x5006016041e07841.0x4001000000000000
0/5/1/0.0x5006016841e07841.0x4001000000000000
/dev/disk/disk18 /dev/rdisk/disk18
disk 19 64000/0xfa00/0x13 esdisk CLAIMED DEVICE online DGC CX3-20cWDR5
0/4/2/0.0x5006016041e07841.0x4002000000000000
0/5/1/0.0x5006016841e07841.0x4002000000000000
/dev/disk/disk19 /dev/rdisk/disk19
You get the LUNID as seen by the disk array and the psf. What I dont know is if the format of the LUNID is consistent across storage vendors. I only have the Clariion on 11.31 so I cant compare.

Re: Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
This is probably not a bad idea.
The first part is known (0/4/2/0), it's the path to the FC HBA.
The next part (0x5006016041e07841) identifies the array.
The last part (0x4001000000000000)identifies the LUN.
I found this:
"Since the LUN address is printed in hexadecimal, the first hexadecimal digit contains both the addressing method and the start of the LUN number. For example, the first 16 bits of the LUN address 0x400f000000000000 is binary 0100000000001111. The leading 01 is the addressing method (Flat Space Addressing) and the remaining bits represent the LUN number (15). Thus, the LUN address 0x400f000000000000 represents LUN number 15 using the Flat Space Addressing method."
So in this example (0x4001000000000000) it is LUN 1 (001hex) in Flat Space Addressing method (0x4).
The scsimgr promises to tell the LUN in decimal!
This would be great and simple, but it looks like it doesn't work.
Is it a problem of scsimgr or the array firmware?
Robert, if you could try the command above you could clarify this question.
# scsimgr -p get_attr all_lun -a device_file -a lunid
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

I had the same results you did:
# scsimgr -p get_attr all_lun -a device_file -a lunid
/dev/rdisk/disk15:
/dev/rdisk/disk16:
...etc
# scsimgr -p get_attr all_lun -a lunid
(blank lines for each LUN it appears)

Re: Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
Torsten,
I see the same thing too - yet something like:
#scsimgr -p get_attr all_lun -a device_file -a max_q_depth
or
#scsimgr -p get_attr all_lun -a device_file -a hw_path
works as expected... I can't see a reason why this shouldn't work - I'd be tempted to report that as a bug and see where you get

Re: Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
You can simply get the LUN ID executing following command.
I have attached a sample output.
# scsimgr lun_map | egrep '(disk|WWID)'

Re: Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
I don't have a problem to read some hex values, but other folks want to see the relation
/dev/disk/disk_xx == LUN xx
from the array in decimal, just as promised by scsimgr.
This is the root cause of the question.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
hey, try this.....
write this in a file and execute it.
ioscan
insf
for i in `ioscan -m dsf|grep disk|awk '{print $1}`
do
a=`scsimgr get_attr -D $i -a wwid |grep -v -e default -e saved -e SCSI -e name |grep current |awk '{print $3}'`
echo "$i ==> $a"
done > rdisk_wwid
now the rdisk_wwid file has all the OS disk DEvice files followed by corresponding WWID.
Hope this helps.

Re: Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
Thanks for reply.
I currently have no system access, so I cannot try.
But I think this is again NOT what I want to have.
The goal is somelike
/dev/disk/disk25 is LUN 5 (from array xy)
/dev/disk/disk273 is LUN 25
etc ...
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
Ok, so after playing around with shell scripting, I've come up with this, and it seems to work... for the most part :)
First, run an
ioscan -m lun
it should produce output similar to what's displayed below.
. . . . disk 49 64000/0xfa00/0x13 esdisk CLAIMED DEVICE online 3PARdataVV 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4004000000000000 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x21120002ac004b08.0x4004000000000000 0/0/0/5/0/0/1.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4004000000000000 0/0/0/5/0/0/1.0x21120002ac004b08.0x4004000000000000 /dev/disk/disk49 /dev/rdisk/disk49 disk 50 64000/0xfa00/0x14 esdisk CLAIMED DEVICE online 3PARdataVV 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4009000000000000 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x21120002ac004b08.0x4009000000000000 0/0/0/5/0/0/1.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4009000000000000 0/0/0/5/0/0/1.0x21120002ac004b08.0x4009000000000000 /dev/disk/disk50 /dev/rdisk/disk50 . . . .
I'm using 3PAR, with 2 nodes over FC, so I've got a total of 4 paths per LUN. You may have more, same or less.
Next pick a path (any path) from any LUN and copy the hardware path, BUT LEAVE OUT the last section that refers to the LUN ID. For instance, in the example below, copy only the section in bold
0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4009000000000000
Next, paste it into this script, as marked in bold
typeset -i N=1 while (( N <= 100 )) do DIR="/dev/rdisk/disk${N}" if [ -c $DIR ] then echo /dev/rdisk/disk${N} scsimgr get_attr -H $(ioscan -m lun /dev/rdisk/disk${N} | grep '0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08') -a lunid N=$N+1 else N=$N+1 fi done
You may need to modify the "while" statement to suite your environment, depending on how many disks you have on the server. If you have more than 100 disks, change it appropriately.
Lastly, run the script. Below is sample output. I have 9 LUNs. The script prints out the device_file followed by the lunid attribute for the associated LUN.
# typeset -i N=1 # while (( N <= 100 )) > do > DIR="/dev/rdisk/disk${N}" > if [ -c $DIR ] > then > echo /dev/rdisk/disk${N} > scsimgr get_attr -H $(ioscan -m lun /dev/rdisk/disk${N} | grep '0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08') -a lunid > N=$N+1 > else > N=$N+1 > fi > done /dev/rdisk/disk1 scsimgr: ERROR: Need to specify hardware path with -H /dev/rdisk/disk7 SCSI ATTRIBUTES FOR LUN PATH : 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4001000000000000 name = lunid current =0x4001000000000000 (LUN # 1, Flat Space Addressing) default = saved = /dev/rdisk/disk12 SCSI ATTRIBUTES FOR LUN PATH : 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4002000000000000 name = lunid current =0x4002000000000000 (LUN # 2, Flat Space Addressing) default = saved = /dev/rdisk/disk41 scsimgr: ERROR: Need to specify hardware path with -H /dev/rdisk/disk42 scsimgr: ERROR: Need to specify hardware path with -H /dev/rdisk/disk43 SCSI ATTRIBUTES FOR LUN PATH : 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4005000000000000 name = lunid current =0x4005000000000000 (LUN # 5, Flat Space Addressing) default = saved = /dev/rdisk/disk44 SCSI ATTRIBUTES FOR LUN PATH : 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4006000000000000 name = lunid current =0x4006000000000000 (LUN # 6, Flat Space Addressing) default = saved = /dev/rdisk/disk45 SCSI ATTRIBUTES FOR LUN PATH : 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4007000000000000 name = lunid current =0x4007000000000000 (LUN # 7, Flat Space Addressing) default = saved = /dev/rdisk/disk46 SCSI ATTRIBUTES FOR LUN PATH : 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4008000000000000 name = lunid current =0x4008000000000000 (LUN # 8, Flat Space Addressing) default = saved = /dev/rdisk/disk47 scsimgr: ERROR: Need to specify hardware path with -H /dev/rdisk/disk48 SCSI ATTRIBUTES FOR LUN PATH : 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4003000000000000 name = lunid current =0x4003000000000000 (LUN # 3, Flat Space Addressing) default = saved = /dev/rdisk/disk49 SCSI ATTRIBUTES FOR LUN PATH : 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4004000000000000 name = lunid current =0x4004000000000000 (LUN # 4, Flat Space Addressing) default = saved = /dev/rdisk/disk50 SCSI ATTRIBUTES FOR LUN PATH : 0/0/0/5/0/0/0.0x20120002ac004b08.0x4009000000000000 name = lunid current =0x4009000000000000 (LUN # 9, Flat Space Addressing) default = saved =
I hope HP release a tool soon like xpinfo or evainfo for 3PAR, and save us all the trouble :)

Re: Identify LUN ID with SCSIMGR
Hi Torsten,
I got blank lines, same as you. What I realized is that "lunid" doesn't appear to be among the attributes listed.
If you do:
scsimgr get_attr all_lun
It returns all attributes for all luns, but lun id is not listed among lun attributes. However, if you do:
scsimgr get_attr -H <Hardware Path>
Then lun ID is listed amongst the attributes. So I figured, I'd create a script that gets a device file, get's the corresponding hardware path and echos the LUN id attribute from the hardware path.
But looks like 3parinfo might provide what's needed. Anyone actually tired it?
