Indeed i think i still have a few ideas. First, you need to locate the powermt command. I am quite sure you have it on the system, it is perhaps not in your PATH. i suggest to do a
and grep the output for powermt. Then put the path the command resides in into your PATH variable.
Then, after you have found it, do a
and look what comes up. We have no CLARiiON any more since a few years but if i remember correctly the CLARiiON LUNs are named the same way as the VMAX LUNs: hdiskpowerXX. You cannot use the hdisk-devices, because they represent only single paths to the LUN, you need to use the hdiskpower-pseudodevice.
I guess your hdiskpower-device is missing. I suggest to delete all the devices down to the FC-adapters, then run cfgmgr to rebuild the device hierarchy again. A hdiskpower0 should come up. Then you may try an importvg from this device, not a hdisk-device.
Still the warning of agent.kgb is correct: this might damage the LUNs content. Create a backup copy (or snapshot, but i think there is no snapshot functionality in the CLARiiON) and only then try this.
Then this:
Is not looking all too kosher to me. There seems to be trouble in the connection between LUN and system. It might be the zoning, it might be something else, but otherwise there should be no failed path.
We are looking at running MPIO for it's redundancy and load balancing benefits. Does anyone know what pieces of software or modules are needed on the VIO server to get load balancing to work. Remember we are using EMC's DMX3500 storage system. We no longer want to use Powerpath. :rolleyes: ... (2 Replies)
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... (1 Reply)
Hi all,
I hope I'm putting my first post at this site into the right forum. I need help finding the EMC disk driver for AIX version 5.3. I have some new EMC disk presented to a backup server of mine, and right now the EMC hdisks show up looking like this in an lsdev:

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
