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 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?

drtest
DRTEST(8) System Manager's Manual DRTEST(8)NAME
drtest - standalone disk test program
DESCRIPTION
Drtest is a standalone program used to read a disk track by track. It was primarily intended as a test program for new standalone drivers,
but has shown useful in other contexts as well, such as verifying disks and running speed tests. For example, when a disk has been format-
ted (by format(8)), you can check that hard errors has been taken care of by running drtest. No hard errors should be found, but in many
cases quite a few soft ECC errors will be reported.
While drtest is running, the cylinder number is printed on the console for every 10th cylinder read.
EXAMPLE
A sample run of drtest is shown below. In this example (using a 750), drtest is loaded from the root file system; usually it will be
loaded from the machine's console storage device. Boldface means user input. As usual, ``#'' and ``@'' may be used to edit input.

Test program for stand-alone up and hp driver
Debugging level (1=bse, 2=ecc, 3=bse+ecc)?
Enter disk name [type(adapter,unit), e.g. hp(1,3)]? hp(0,0)
Device data: #cylinders=1024, #tracks=16, #sectors=32
Testing hp(0,0), chunk size is 16384 bytes.
(chunk size is the number of bytes read per disk access)

(...program restarts to allow checking other disks)
(...to abort halt machine with ^P)
DIAGNOSTICS
The diagnostics are intended to be self explanatory. Note, however, that the device number in the diagnostic messages is identified as
typeX instead of type(a,u) where X = a*8+u, e.g., hp(1,3) becomes hp11.
