Tools VxVM on Solaris.

Hi,

Quick question if anyone knows this. Is there a command I can use in Veritas Volume manager on Solaris that will tell me what the name of the SAN I am connected to? We have a number of SANs so I am unsure which one my servers are connected to. Thanks.

You can check from the format command ,, I guess... It will definitely give you some clue

what do you mean with "the name of the SAN"? you could have a look at the storage, but the SAN (switches) should be transparent...

Code:
root@backup # luxadm display /dev/rdsk/c5t40d1s2

Hi All,

Thanks for your replies. The format command will indeed give me the make of the SAN I am connected to. I need to hostname of the SAN. My servers are directly connected through fibre channel and emulex HBAs. Unfortunately the luxadm command didn't work. Any ideas. Thanks.

luxadm display /dev/vx/dsk/oradg/oralogs
Error: Could not get physical path to the device. - /dev/vx/dsk/oradg/oralogs

I suppose you can only get the device path/name. what OS are you running? Solaris , 9, or 10?

Does it exist at all ? I do have some certs and experience with Brocades as well as MDS-es but "the name of the SAN"... no I can't recall anything like this...

Have the world changed and I missed it ?
