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)

MPT(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    MPT(4)

NAME
mpt -- LSI Fusion-MPT SCSI/Fibre Channel driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file: device scbus device mpt Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): mpt_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The mpt driver provides support for the LSI Logic Fusion-MPT family of SCSI, Fibre Channel and SAS controllers. HARDWARE
The following controllers are supported by the mpt driver: o LSI Logic 53c1030, LSI Logic LSI2x320-X (Single and Dual Ultra320 SCSI) o LSI Logic AS1064, LSI Logic AS1068 (SAS/SATA) o LSI Logic FC909 (1Gb/s Fibre Channel) o LSI Logic FC909A (Dual 1Gb/s Fibre Channel) o LSI Logic FC919, LSI Logic 7102XP-LC (Single 2Gb/s Fibre Channel) o LSI Logic FC929, LSI Logic FC929X, LSI Logic 7202XP-LC (Dual 2Gb/s Fibre Channel) o LSI Logic FC949X (Dual 4Gb/s Fibre Channel) o LSI Logic FC949E, LSI Logic FC949ES (Dual 4Gb/s Fibre Channel PCI-Express) The Ultra 320 SCSI controller chips supported by the mpt driver can be found onboard on many systems including: o Dell PowerEdge 1750 thru 2850 o IBM eServer xSeries 335 These systems also contain Integrated Raid Mirroring and Integrated Raid Mirroring Enhanced which this driver also supports. The SAS controller chips are also present on many new AMD/Opteron based systems, like the Sun 4100. Note that this controller can drive both SAS and SATA drives or a mix of them at the same time. The Integrated Raid Mirroring available for these controllers is poorly supported at best. The Fibre Channel controller chipset are supported by a broad variety of speeds and systems. The Apple Fibre Channel HBA is in fact the FC949ES card. This driver also supports target mode for Fibre Channel cards. This support may be enabled by setting the desired role of the core via the LSI Logic firmware utility that establishes what roles the card can take on - no separate compilation is required. SEE ALSO
cd(4), ch(4), da(4), pci(4), sa(4), scsi(4), targ(4), mptutil(8), gmultipath(8) LSI Logic Website, http://www.lsilogic.com/. HISTORY
The mpt driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6. AUTHORS
The mpt driver was originally written for FreeBSD by Greg Ansley and marginally improved upon by Matt Jacob <mjacob@FreeBSD.org>. Justin Gibbs <gibbs@FreeBSD.org> and Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org> have made more substantial improvements. BUGS
