Operating Systems HP-UX Getting multipath information Post 302974756 by Peasant on Friday 3rd of June 2016 12:17:32 AM

Probably the most important information is HPUX version.

In 11.31 (HPUXv3), HP introduced agile multipath naming (/dev/disk/diskN), which represents a multipath device.

On v3 all you need is :
ioscan -m rsf

If you see multiple devices (cXtXdX - depending on SAN configuration, number of storage ports exposed etc.) for one /dev/disk/diskN in the output your multipath works.
You will use agile device name in your configuration (/dev/[r]disk/diskN).

In older releases, as vbe mentioned, multiple device files will represent one LUN from storage in older format (cXtXdX).
You must use all devices in your configuration to be multipath-ed.

Hope that helps
Regards
Peasant.

MP_GetMultipathLus(3MPAPI)			   Common Multipath Management Library Functions			MP_GetMultipathLus(3MPAPI)

NAME
MP_GetMultipathLus - return a list of multipath logical units SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lMPAPI [ library... ] #include <mpapi.h> MP_STATUS MP_GetMultipathLus(MP_OID oid, MP_OID_LIST **ppList); PARAMETERS
oid The object ID of the plugin or device product object. ppList A pointer to a pointer to an object ID that has type MP_OID_LIST structure. With a successful return, this contains a pointer to an MP_OID_LIST that contains the object IDs of all the (multipath) logical units associated with the specified plugin object ID. DESCRIPTION
The MP_GetMultipathLus() function returns a list of multipath logical units associated to a plugin. When the caller is finished using the list it must free the memory used by the list by calling MP_FreeOidList. RETURN VALUES
MP_STATUS_INVALID_OBJECT_TYPE The oid does not specify any valid object type. This is most likely to happen if an uninitialized object ID is passed to the API. MP_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER The ppList is null or specifies a memory area that cannot be written, or when oid has a type subfield other than MP_OBJECT_TYPE_DEVICE_PRODUCT or MP_OBJECT_TYPE_PLUG IN. MP_STATUS_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND The oid owner ID or object sequence number is invalid. MP_STATUS_SUCCESS The operation is successful. MP_STATUS_FAILED The plugin for the specified object ID is not found. MP_STATUS_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY A memory allocation failure occurred. ATTRIBUTES
