Mapping Disk, with mount point ...

[Shahbaz_1]

Hi Friends,
When I want to know the disk-activity, I use,
"#sar -d n n"
it shows the device name like c0t6d0.
Now how to map it with the mount poins like /u01 or /u02.

One more question,
#ioscan -fnC disk,
it gives detail of all the disks in the system.
it is showing, H/W Path, Driver S/W State, H/W Type etc,
again how to map these disks with the mount points.

Please help me to understand it.

Thanks in Adv

Regards
Shah

Do a pvdisplay -v on the disk.

For ex.,

pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 will show you the distribution of the logical volumes.

bdf command shows on what mount points these logical volumes are mounted.

Hi Shah,

I hate to say but you will need to take a class on Administering HP-UX. There are quite a number of things involved in setting up the system.

A quick way is just run this ..
# pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c0t6d0 | more
and take a look at how it is distributed logical volume wise.
From there look at your /etc/fstab file or "bdf" command to find out which logical volume is mounted on which filesystem.

you will get a lot of answers by searching the threads in this forum as well in the knowledge database here.

You will find a wealth of information there without having to wait for responses from the forum members.

Just type in what you want and click search.

Hi Shah

Here is a command that will map disks to hardware paths

lssf $(strings /etc/lvmtab|grep dsk)|awk '{print $NF, $(NF-1)}'

Physical Disks can be //logically// grouped or ungrouped to create logical volumes inside a volume group.

Each logical volume is like a logical partition and it can be used for a file system.

It is just like tablespaces and datafiles to understand from the DBA side.

Tablespaces are logical and datafiles are physical.

So you can use
pvdisplay
to query the physical disk to find which volume group it is belonging to.

check this manual for more info

Shah,

To associate mount points with physical volumes, I take the output of "bdf -l" to get the mount points and the lvm pathname and then compare that to the output of "vgdisplay -v" to tie the lvm path to the physical disk path. For example:
yukon(157)root# bdf -l |grep vg01
