monitoring the state of physical disks
Hello,

I would like to know if there are commands that can be used to monitor the state of physical disks (including RAID) under AIX and SUN unix platforms?

Thank you in advance.

Solaris:

If using DiskSuite, you can use the metastat command (the location is different in some version of the OS)
If using Vertias, you can use vxdisk list or vxprint -th to monitor.
Or if your syslog.conf is set correctly, you can check your messages file.

I have put the following line in my syslog.conf file:

kern.* /tmp/test.log

Then I have done kill -HUP +PID.
With that, will i get all hardware problems related messages (including those related to physical disks) in the test.log file?
(for the moment I got nothing).

You should get the messages there. If you have nothing in there, then you probably don't have any errors.
