I would like to check how many SAS disks and its size per disk for the whole power system. As per my understanding, if we assign the SAS controller to LPAR, then we can see the disk in lpar smitty command.
How can we check from the Power machine(physical ones) as well? I think the power system should know how many disks it has and its size.
I have check in ASMI page, and in the console SMS, I can see some disks, but not see the size (screenshot attached).
I have two Unix machines on the network and now one of them are running out of disk but i have alot on the other so i like to mount the disk (or a folder) from the one that has disk and mount it on the other that does not.
How do i do that? Is it possible i read the "man mount" but didn't really... (5 Replies)
Hi!!
I am these days working on a project, where I need to know about the disk controllers available in a machine (e.g., 3ware,IBM,etc).
Please, let me know the command by which I can get the information.

Hi,
Is there an easy way to find the disk-type from the command line or with another api ? sdparm works for SAS but not for SATA, hdparm works for SATA but not SAS.

hi guys,
I don't like the new concept of the power ha 7 cluster with the repository disk and the internal solidb, I really would like to mirror this disk, but the "IBM PowerHA SystemMirror 7.1 for AIX" redbook says, normal lvm operations should not be performed on this disk.

Hi,
I have installed the HMC on the VMWare VM. I try to add the power machine (managed system) and asking for a password? So this is the IBM predefined password of Power Machine?
In the VMWare perspective, we can login to ESX host to do some management tasks. But how about the Power machine?... (6 Replies)

MFI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MFI(4)NAME
mfi -- LSI MegaRAID SAS driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device pci
device mfi
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
mfi_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
This driver is for LSI's next generation PCI Express SAS RAID controllers. Access to RAID arrays (logical disks) from this driver is pro-
vided via /dev/mfid? device nodes. A simple management interface is also provided on a per-controller basis via the /dev/mfi? device node.
The mfi name is derived from the phrase "MegaRAID Firmware Interface", which is substantially different than the old "MegaRAID" interface and
thus requires a new driver. Older SCSI and SATA MegaRAID cards are supported by amr(4) and will not work with this driver.
Two sysctls are provided to tune the mfi driver's behavior when a request is made to remove a mounted volume. By default the driver will
disallow any requests to remove a mounted volume. If the sysctl dev.mfi.%d.delete_busy_volumes is set to 1, then the driver will allow
mounted volumes to be removed.
HARDWARE
The mfi driver supports the following hardware:
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 8408E
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 8480E
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260
o Dell PERC5
o Dell PERC6
o IBM ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA
o IBM ServeRAID-MR10i
o Intel RAID Controller SROMBSAS18E
FILES
/dev/mfid? array/logical disk interface
/dev/mfi? management interface
DIAGNOSTICS
mfid%d: Unable to delete busy device An attempt was made to remove a mounted volume.
SEE ALSO amr(4), pci(4), mfiutil(8)HISTORY
The mfi driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.1.
AUTHORS
The mfi driver and this manual page were written by Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>.
BUGS
The driver does not support big-endian architectures at this time.
