XP 256 Question

[Paul Hawkins]

Hi, Happy 4th July...
Does anyone know how you can get the device_group names from an XP? Im not talking about the LVM Volume Group name but the DeviceGroup you call when using "pairsplit", "pairdisplay" etc

Thanks

Paul,

As I understand it the the "device groups" mean nothing to the XP itself, but are mereley logical creations of the RAID Manager XP software that runs on your servers - so the XP doesn't tell your server which groups devices are in, the server simply has a logical defintion of devices in a group which it uses to act on the array. The device groups only come into existence when you start a HORCM instance on your server - so if you want to know what devices are in whcih group you need to look in your /etc/horcm*.conf files, and compare against an output from xpinfo.

You might try some variant of the /opt/HORCM/usr/bin/inqraid command. Try /opt/HORCM/usr/bin/inqraid -h to see your options, or access the guide on the RAID Manager CD for more info. I haven't experimented with it enough to answer your question completely, sorry.
