Operating Systems AIX Changing AIX LUN paths Post 302994008 by rbatte1 on Friday 17th of March 2017 11:37:55 AM

The LUN that AIX recognises will be based on the serial number it is presented with. I no longer have AIX available, but I think you can see it in the Z00 or Z01 line in lscfg -vl hdisk7 or whatever.

You should be able to add the new links in from the SAN and get wider output from lsvpcfg

If you can, then you can delete the old hdisks and remove the old SAN definitions. This way, you don't need to take them offline.
Obviously, don't start removing things until you are certian that the new hdisks (discovered with cfgmgr -S) are merged into the existing vpaths.

Make sure that you remove the old hdisks before you try to remove the LUN at the SAN end or you will get lots of hardware failure messages.


I hope that this helps.
