Configurin EMC SAN disks on AIX
This may sound like an absolute rookie question, and it is.

I have been working on Migrating our HP and Solaris servers to the new EMC SAN and know the routines backwards.

Now we've suddenly got a new IBM server and I don't even know how to check if it is connected to the switch.
Can someone give me detailed instructions - or a doc reference - on how to configure the FC?

Hopefully after that it will be smooth sailing with the EMC naviagent and power path software.

It is a system P6 running AIX 5.3.
I have connected the fibre cable between the server and the switch, and the switch port is active and saying "In_Sync"

NAME

       hbaapi - Fibre Channel Storage Network Industry Association Host Bus Adapter Application Programming Interface (FC SNIA HBA API)

DESCRIPTION

       The  Common  HBA  API  provides a consistent HBA standard interface for accessing information in a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (SAN)
       that would be implemented across vendors as a standard 'C' API supported by vendor specific library instances.

       This API library is thread-safe, but threads should not be cancelled when execution is in the API.

       The following functions are available in the API for managing a Fibre Channel HBA.  This API would be exposed to upper  level  applications
       to control SAN functionality.

       Please refer to for details on structures used.
