verify root/boot disks

[Rick Garland]

Hi all:

Got a new rx3600 with HPUX 11.23. This has the P400 controller and it should be doing HW mirroring. That's how we set it up.

How can I check? Is there a command (or set of commands) I can run against the system to identify the boot drive(s), the mirror, the ALT boot, is it configured to boot from the mirror, etc.

Thanks!

Hi Rick,

get the controller device from the ioscan (e.g. /dev/sasd0) and run:

# sasmgr get_info -D /dev/sasd0 -q raid=all

you will get the information about the RAIDs and the disks included in them.

See "man sasmgr" for much, much more information ;-)

Above and beyond the call of duty - another 10 pts.

Thanks Torsten!
