Operating Systems AIX AIX LPAR FC connection to SAN Post 303031470 by Phat on Friday 1st of March 2019 04:27:21 AM

Hi Bakunin,

Take a look on first lpar, we can see the virtual fiber, it comes from VIOS and routed to physical FC of Power machine.
Code:
[root@xxx] / > lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs
fcs0 Available 12-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter
fcs1 Available 12-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter
fcs2 Available 12-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter
fcs3 Available 12-T1 Virtual Fibre Channel Client Adapter

Take a look on second lpar, it's not virtual. I wonder if it is actual physical FC from Power Machine assigned directly to lpar.
Code:
[root@zzz] / > lsdev -Cc adapter | grep fcs
fcs0 Available 00-00 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapter (df1000f114108a03)
fcs1 Available 00-01 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapter (df1000f114108a03)
fcs2 Available 01-00 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapter (df1000f114108a03)
fcs3 Available 01-01 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapter (df1000f114108a03)
fcs4 Available 05-00 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapter (df1000f114108a03)
fcs5 Available 05-01 8Gb PCI Express Dual Port FC Adapter (df1000f114108a03)

I wonder where those physical FC come from? As virtual FC comes from VIOS.

How to Find if AIX machine is LPar or not

Hi, I want to know if there is any command which will tell me if an AIX machine is a LPar or not. I am using "lparstat -i" but it does not work on all AIX machines. Is there any generic command by whose output I will come to know if it is an LPar or not? Please help. Thanks, Vineet (3 Replies)

NAME
isp -- Qlogic based SCSI and FibreChannel SCSI Host Adapters SYNOPSIS
isp* at pci? dev? function? (PCI) isp* at sbus? slot ? offset ? (SBus) scsibus* at isp? DESCRIPTION
This driver provides access to SCSI or FibreChannel devices. SCSI features include support for Ultra SCSI and wide mode transactions for SCSI, and LVD (for the ISP1080 and ISP1280), Fibre Channel support uses FCP SCSI profile for FibreChannel. and uses Class 3 connections only. Support is available for Public and Pri- vate loops. Command tagging is supported for all (in fact, FibreChannel requires tagging). CONFIGURATION
An optional flags 0x80 appended to the above isp* declarations will disable the download of driver firmware, which means you use whatever firmware is running on the card. If no firmware is running on the card, the driver cannot operate the card. An optional flags 0x40 appended to the above isp* declarations (can be OR'd in with the other config flags option) will keep the driver from looking at device or bus NVRAM settings (this is in case NVRAM is just wrong and you have the card in a platform where it is inconvenient to change NVRAM settings on the card). HARDWARE
Supported cards include: ISP1000 SBus Fast Wide, Ultra Fast Wide cards, Single Ended or Differential cards. PTI SBS440 Performance Technology ISP1000 variants. ISP1020 Qlogic 1020 Fast Wide and Differential Fast Wide PCI cards. ISP1040 Qlogic 1040 Ultra Wide and Differential Ultra Wide PCI cards. PTI SBS450 Performance Technology ISP1040 variants. Qlogic 1240 Qlogic 1240 Dual Bus Ultra Wide and Differential Ultra Wide PCI cards. Qlogic 1080 Qlogic 1280 LVD Ultra2 Wide PCI cards. Qlogic 1280 Qlogic 1280 Dual Bus LVD Ultra2 Wide PCI cards. Qlogic 2100 Qlogic 2100 and 2100A Copper and Optical Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop Qlogic 2102 Qlogic Dual Loop 2100A Optical Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop PCI cards. Qlogic 2200 Qlogic 2200 Copper and Optical Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop PCI cards. Qlogic 2202 Qlogic 2200 Dual Bus Optical Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop PCI cards. Qlogic 2204 Qlogic 2200 Quad Bus Optical Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop PCI cards. Qlogic 2300 Qlogic 2300 2-Gigabit Optical Fibre Channel PCI cards. Qlogic 2312 Qlogic 2300 2-Gigabit Dual Channel Optical Fibre Channel PCI cards. PTI SBS470 Performance Technology ISP2100 variants. Antares P-0033 Antares Microsystems ISP2100 variants. Qlogic 2400 Qlogic 2400 4-Gigabit Optical Fibre Channel PCI cards. Qlogic 2500 Qlogic 2500 8-Gigabit Optical Fibre Channel PCI cards. SEE ALSO

The isp driver was written by Matthew Jacob for NASA/Ames Research Center. BUGS
The driver currently ignores some NVRAM settings. The driver currently doesn't do error recovery for timed out commands very gracefully. Sometimes, when booting, the driver gets stuck waiting for the Fibre Channel firmware to tell it that the loop port database is ready. In this case you'll see an announcement that the loop state has a value of 0x1. To unwedge the system, unplug and replug the fibre channel con- nection, or otherwise cause a LIP (Loop Initialization Primitive sequence) - this will kick the firmware into getting unstuck. BSD
