Is anyone here using NPIV with AIX? If you are, what type of switch are you connected to? Also, please share some impressions of NPIV over traditional port-to-port LUN assignments. We are looking to move to NPIV and need some convincing argume... I mean information.

Migrating hdisks from vscsi to NPIV with powerpath

Hi All, I'm preparing to migrate some servers from vscsi to pass-thru NPIV. I am planning to have the SAN team move the exact LUNs from vio1/vio2 to those two VWWN through NPIV. My question is on the partition itself.. right now, let's say I have hdisk0/1/2/3/4 that are part of datavg. They...

NPIV with 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapter

All I am at a loss with a VIO server running ios 2.2.0.10-FP-24 SP-01. The VIO server is fitted with two 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapters. However when I run the lsnports command only two of the adapter ports show as capable: $ lsnports name physloc ...

AIX Sanboot from EMC Symmetrix with NPIV

Hi All.. On to a new implementation with AIX 7.1 san boot from EMC disks (Using NPIV). Anyone played with this recently? Wondering if we need PowerPath on the AIX clients or has native MPIO matured to replace it. Thoughts? Thanks Mr B

Vscsi and npiv on same adapter

Hi, I want to change from vscsi to npiv. Is it possible to use both on the same adapter, so we can change the systems one by one, or must we place a second FC adapter in the VIO servers? Thanks, Ronald

NAME

       fcping - Fibre Channel Ping (ELS ECHO) tool

SYNOPSIS

       fcping [-fqx] [ -i interval ] [ -c count ] [ -s size ] -h source target

       source = interface | MAC | WWPN | FC-ID

       target = -P WWPN | -N WWPN | -F FC-ID

DESCRIPTION

       The  fcping  command  performs the Fibre Channel FC-LS-2 ECHO ELS command and displays the reply. The max payload for fcping is 2108 bytes.
       When no -c is given, fcping will continue until user interrupts.

OPTIONS

       -f
	   Flood ping

       -q
	   Quiet! just print summary

       -x
	   Hex dump of responses

       -i interval
	   Wait interval seconds between each ping

       -c count
	   Stop after sending count pings

       -h source
	   Source is interface like ethX, MAC address, WWPN, or FC-ID

       -s size
	   Byte-length of ping request payload (max 2108)

       -F FC-ID
	   Destination port ID

       -P WWPN
	   Destination world-wide port name

       -N WWNN
	   Destination world-wide node name

EXAMPLES

       Sends ELS ECHO to Port FC-ID 0xbf0027 from interface n0.170 with max 3 pings.

	   fcping -c 3 -h n0.170 -F 0xbf0027

	   sending echo to 0xBF0027
	   echo    1 accepted			    16.170 ms
	   echo    2 accepted			     7.053 ms
	   echo    3 accepted			     6.803 ms
	   3 frames sent, 3 received 0 errors, 0.000% loss, avg. rt time 10.009 ms

       Sends ELS ECHO to WWNN 0x1000001B213C9DDA from interface n0.170 with max 3 pings and payload size 1500 bytes

	   fcping -c 3 -h n0.170 -s 1500 -N 0x1000001B213C9DDA

	   sending echo to 0xBF0027
	   echo    1 accepted			     6.597 ms
	   echo    2 accepted			     6.925 ms
	   echo    3 accepted			    12.419 ms
	   3 frames sent, 3 received 0 errors, 0.000% loss, avg. rt time 8.647 ms

       Sends ELS ECHO to WWNN 0x1000001B213C9DDA from interface n0.170 continuously with payload of 32 bytes and hex-dump the reply to the screen

	   fcping -x -h n0.170 -s 32 -N 0x1000001B213C9DDA

	   sending echo to 0xBF0027
	   echo    1 accepted			     6.937 ms
	   response length 32
		0 02000000 00000001 00010203 04050607
