How to Find what HBA is configured on Linux?
Hi
I am working in an environment where there are many redhat physical and virtual machines, mostly Redhat 4. These servers have LUNs attached. The external storage can be EMC, NetApp or Par3.
My question is that when Storage Administrator informs that a new LUN has been presented to a particular Redhat Linux server
(1) how do I know what is the LUN ID.
(2) how do I know what kind of HBA is attached to my server.
(3) how do I scan for new LUNs.
Please guide me I have searching over the net for a while, lastly is there a guide/doc on this, the storage guide from Redhat are not in to much detail.
Thanks and regards
