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 guess... (0 Replies)

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?

multipath
MULTIPATH(8) Linux Administrator's Manual MULTIPATH(8)
NAME
multipath - Device mapper target autoconfig
SYNOPSIS
multipath [-v verbosity] [-b bindings_file] [-d] [-h|-l|-ll|-f|-t|-F|-B|-c|-q|-r|-a|-A|-w|-W] [-p failover|multi-
bus|group_by_serial|group_by_prio|group_by_node_name] [device]
DESCRIPTION
multipath is used to detect multiple paths to devices for fail-over or performance reasons and coalesces them
OPTIONS
-v level
verbosity, print all paths and multipaths
0 no output
1 print the created or updated multipath names only, for use to feed other tools like kpartx
2 + print all info : detected paths, coalesced paths (ie multipaths) and device maps
-h print usage text
-d dry run, do not create or update devmaps
-l show the current multipath topology from information fetched in sysfs and the device mapper
-ll show the current multipath topology from all available information (sysfs, the device mapper, path checkers ...)
-f flush a multipath device map specified as parameter, if unused
-F flush all unused multipath device maps
-t print internal hardware table to stdout
-r force devmap reload
-B treat the bindings file as read only
-b bindings_file
set user_friendly_names bindings file location. The default is /etc/multipath/bindings
-c check if a block device should be a path in a multipath device
-q allow device tables with queue_if_no_path when multipathd is not running
-a add the wwid for the specified device to the wwids file
-A add wwids from any kernel command line mpath.wwid parameters to the wwids file
-w remove the wwid for the specified device from the wwids file
-W reset the wwids file to only include the current multipath devices
-p policy
force new maps to use the specified policy:
failover 1 path per priority group
multibus all paths in 1 priority group
group_by_serial
1 priority group per serial
group_by_prio
1 priority group per priority value. Priorities are determined by callout programs specified as a global, per-con-
troller or per-multipath option in the configuration file
group_by_node_name
1 priority group per target node name. Target node names are fetched in /sys/class/fc_transport/target*/node_name.
Existing maps are not modified.
device update only the devmap the path pointed by device is in. device is in the /dev/sdb (as shown by udev in the $DEVNAME variable) or
major:minor format. device may alternatively be a multipath mapname
