Basic Filesystem / Physical Volume / Logical Volume Check

chipahoys · #1 (**permalink**) 12-02-2008

Hi!

Can anyone help me on how I can do a basic check on the Unix filesystems / physical volumes and logical volumes?

What items should I check, like where do I look at in smit? Or are there commands that I should execute?

I need to do this as I was informed by IBM that there seems to be an error on our SAN disks. I don't even know what SAN disks are.

Thanks!

Problems
errpt
system messages and your syslog

LVM
lspv

lsvg |lsvg -ip

disks
lspv
lspath
pcmpath query device --->pcmpath ( for mpio ) datapath (for sdd ) Look at disk storage
