How to identify newly added Lun ( EVA ) In HPux B.11.11

Hi friends,

But I still dont get it where should be the new LUNS.

Can any one help me

This is where good documentation comes into play.  If you know what you had before you added new LUNs then it is trivial to figure out what is new.  If you don't know what you had, then it is more difficult.

One  way may be to look at your /dev/disk (for HP-UX 11.31) or /dev/dsk (for all version prior to 11.31) directories and see what the newest device files in the directory are.  That should give you a pretty good indication of the device file(s) for your new LUN(s).

The other way would be to look through /etc/lvmtab (all  HP-UX version with VG1.0 volume groups) and/or /etc/lvmtab_p (HP-UX 11.31 with VG 2.x volume groups) (use the strings command) and see what all device files are recorded for use with the VGs you have.  Once you have that you can compare the list with the device files on your system.  Anything that is not in either of the lvmtab files could be new and available for use.

The device file will be created after you run ioscan followed by insf, specifically: insf -Ctape

You'll see the new device files being created.

You can then find the new device files by listing the /dev/dsk or /dev/disk directories in date order:

# ll -rt /dev/dsk
