AIX - FC Switch migration, SAN Migration question!
I'm New to AIX / VIOS
We're doing a FC switch cutover on an ibm device, connected via SAN.
How do I tell if one path to my remote disk is lost? (aix lvm)
How do I tell when my link is down on my HBA port?
Appreciate your help, very much!

Hi, I'm going to be involved in a migration of SAN islands to one big SAN. I've not worked with SANs before and I'm not sure how to approach this. I suspect the disk devices on the HP servers are going to change, when the EVA's and servers are plugged into this new Cisco 9509 switch.

ibqueryerrors
IBQUERYERRORS(8) OpenIB Diagnostics IBQUERYERRORS(8)
NAME
ibqueryerrors.pl - query and report non-zero IB port counters
SYNOPSIS
ibqueryerrors.pl [-a -c -r -R -C <ca_name> -P <ca_port> -s <err1,err2,...> -S <switch_guid> -D <direct_route> -d]
DESCRIPTION
ibqueryerrors.pl reports the port counters of switches. This is similar to ibcheckerrors with the additional ability to filter out
selected errors, include the optional transmit and receive data counters, report actions to remedy a non-zero count, and report full link
information for the link reported.
OPTIONS
-a Report an action to take. Some of the counters are not errors in and of themselves. This reports some more information on what the
counters mean and what actions can/should be taken if they are non-zero.
-c Suppress some of the common "side effect" counters. These counters usually do not indicate an error condition and can be usually be
safely ignored.
-r Report the port information. This includes LID, port, external port (if applicable), link speed setting, remote GUID, remote port,
remote external port (if applicable), and remote node description information.
-R Recalculate the ibnetdiscover information, ie do not use the cached information. This option is slower but should be used if the
diag tools have not been used for some time or if there are other reasons to believe that the fabric has changed.
-s <err1,err2,...>
Suppress the errors listed in the comma separated list provided.
-S <switch_guid>
Report results only for the switch specified. (hex format)
-D <direct_route>
Report results only for the switch specified by the direct route path.
-d Include the optional transmit and receive data counters.
-C <ca_name> use the specified ca_name for the search.
-P <ca_port> use the specified ca_port for the search.
