Operating Systems AIX hard disk and san Post 302202412 by bravo on Wednesday 4th of June 2008 08:58:16 PM

Hi,

I don't know the DS4500 storage. I will assume it is similar to its "big brothers" DS6xxx and DS8xxx. We have a DS6800 and a DWS8100 on a SAN. On AIX we installed MPIO drivers and utilities (SDD PCM). One of these utilities is "pcmpath". If you execute "pcmpath query device" it shows a list of all your hdisks with a serial number. Using these serial numbers you can lookup the LUNs on your DS4500 using a command like "lsfbvol" on dscli. I am assuming you are using dscli, but you can use also use the web interface.
For more details take a look at "http://www-304.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/supportresources?taskind=3&brandind=5000028&familyind=5329608&typeind=0&modelind=0&osind=0"

Hope it helps.
