UNIX command for checking active Fibre Channels
Can someone advise what the UNIX command for checking active Fibre Channels is?
I have used lcdev and this gives me a nice list of cards available to our box. The particular Fibre Channel I'm interested in is fcs6. This is showing as Available...if that is the case does this also mean that it is up , running and available for work .. so to speak.
Scenario is:
We had a failed backup to TSM over the weekend. The error suggested a failed Fibre Channel card (fcs6). So we took this was taken offline by the AIX / TSM support guys (not sure which one did it), backup was re-run successfully. Then last night it failed with the same error.
What I'm trying to establish is if this card was re-activated somewhere between the successful completion of the backup and the start of the next one.
any idea's help?
Cheers D

NAME
usoc - universal serial optical controller for Fibre Channel arbitrated loop (SOC+) device driver
DESCRIPTION
The Fibre Channel adapter is an SBus card that implements two full duplex Fibre Channel interfaces. Each interface can connect to a Fibre
Channel arbitrated loop (FC-AL). The usoc device driver is a nexus driver and implements portions of the FC-2 and FC-4 layers of FC-AL.
