Configurin EMC SAN disks on AIX
This may sound like an absolute rookie question, and it is.
I have been working on Migrating our HP and Solaris servers to the new EMC SAN and know the routines backwards.
Now we've suddenly got a new IBM server and I don't even know how to check if it is connected to the switch.
Can someone give me detailed instructions - or a doc reference - on how to configure the FC?
Hopefully after that it will be smooth sailing with the EMC naviagent and power path software.
It is a system P6 running AIX 5.3.
I have connected the fibre cable between the server and the switch, and the switch port is active and saying "In_Sync"

Hi everyone,
I wonder if I can canvas any opinions or thoughts (good or bad) on SAN attaching a SUN V880/490 to an EMC Clarion SAN?
At the moment the 880 is using 12 internal FC-AL disks as a db server and seems to be doing a pretty good job. It is not I/O, CPU or Memory constrained and the... (2 Replies)

sg_emc_trespass
SG_EMC_TRESPASS(8) SG3_UTILS SG_EMC_TRESPASS(8)
NAME
sg_emc_trespass - Changes ownership of a LUN from another Service-Processor to this one.
SYNOPSIS
sg_emc_trespass [-d] [-hr] [-s] [-V] DEVICE
DESCRIPTION
sg_emc_trespass sends an EMC-specific Trespass Command to the DEVICE with the selected options. This Mode Select changes the ownership of
the LUN of the device from another Service-Processor to the one the command was received on.
OPTIONS
Arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
-d outputs some extra debug information associated with executing this command
-hr Sets the 'Honor Reservation' bit in the command. If set, the trespass will only succeed to change the ownership from the Peer SP if
the Peer SP does not have an outstanding SCSI reservation for the LUN. By default, the reservation state will be ignored.
-s Send the short version of the trespass command instead of the long version. The short version is supported on the EMC FC5300, FC4500
and FC4700. The long version (default) is supported on the CLARiiON CX and AX family arrays.
-V print out version string then exit.
In the 2.4 series of Linux kernels the DEVICE must be a SCSI generic (sg) device. In the 2.6 series block devices (e.g. SCSI disks and DVD
drives) can also be specified. For example "sg_start 0 /dev/sda" will work in the 2.6 series kernels.
EXIT STATUS
The exit status of sg_emc_trespass is 0 when it is successful. Otherwise see the sg3_utils(8) man page.
