ioscan with Legacy mode

[AZayed]

Dears,
Good day,

I notice something when disabling Legacy mode on HP-UX 11i v31. The ioscan cannot display/detect EVA disks or tape drive over SAN.

But when using smh to browse the devices I can see them. And when running HP LTT it cannot detect the tape drive.

So, at the end I ended up enabling Legacy mode to make it work.

can you help me with this?

Thanks

Can you provide some details like

# ioscan -fn

with and without legacy mode together with

# ioscan -m dsf

and

# ioscan -fkm lun

# ioscan -m hwpath

Hi,

would not you forgot to use '-N' option to display agile devices?

Few examples:
# ioscan -kfN
# ioscan -kfNnC disk
# ioscan -kfNnC tape
# ioscan -kfNC lunpath

Have you tried with last LTT version?

Regards,

Hello AZayed,

you may try

# insef -e

# ioscan -fn
# ioscan -N This displays ne agile view
also you can try

# ioscan -s displays stale device , status - offline, failed

# ioscan -m lun <- display luns by device and path

# ioscan -m dsf

# ioscan -fkm lun

# ioscan -m hwpath

# ioscan -kfN

Also you can try follwoing commands

# ioscan -P health <- to find status of all device files

# ioscan -P health -C disk or fc or td <- find out status of device by class
