Hi
Depending on the version of your HP-UX server you won't need to install SDD software layer. HP-UX 11.31 has their own driver for several SAN implementations including IBM SVC. We have implemented a full SAP on HP-UX 11.31 enviroment and are using plain HP-UX to config all LUNs using what HP call Agile view (very similar to the IBM AIX concept of a single hdiskNN device) instead of the traditional device numbering concept used in older versions of HP-UX.
But if you cannot use latest versions of HP-UX you will need to install appropiate SDD software version from IBM Web Site. I would install latest available maintenance levels for HP-UX as well as FC adapters microcode of needed.
IBM - Subsystem Device Driver for HP-UX
Hope this helps

Can anyone recommend me some reading material surrounding how AIX handles LUNs:
- with and without MPIO installed
- with and without SDD or SDDPCM installed
Where does lspath sit in all of this (MPIO layer?). Can a system be built with just MPIO software? Is MPIO software even needed?

I was wondering if there is a way of auto-detecting a new vpath, using IBM's SDD driver, on a Linux platform.
ON AIX it is a simple as running cfgmgr.

Hi folks.
We want to move a "physical" AIX box to a VIOed LPAR. The physical box is running SDD with disks from a DS8300. I want to be able to reattach those LUNs from the DS8300 to my VIO server which is running SDDPCM and then assigned them back to my AIX LPAR. Any thoughts about this?

IPRINIT(8) System Manager's Manual IPRINIT(8)
NAME
iprinit - IBM Power RAID adapter/device initialization utility
SYNOPSIS
iprinit
iprinit --debug --daemon --use-polling --use-uevents
DESCRIPTION
iprinit is used to setup IBM Power RAID adapters and devices for optimal performance. It will enable U320 scsi speeds if it is determined
the disk enclosure supports it. It will also enable tagged command queuing. Any scsi bus attributes, such as bus width, or disk
attributes, such as queue depth, that have been setup by iprconfig will be loaded as well. It is desired that this be called in the boot
process, using the init.d script provided.
OPTIONS
--version
Print the version number of iprinit
--debug
Enable additional error logging. Enabling this will result in additional errors logging to /var/log/messages.
--daemon
Run as a daemon to handle adapters and devices being hotplugged.
--use-polling
Do not use netlink/uevent notification, but rather poll for adapter and device configuration changes.
--use-uevents
Use netlink/uevent notification rather than polling for adapter and device configuration changes. If not specified, polling will be
used until the first uevent notification appears, then netlink will be used.
