from the hardware itself, you cannot see the disks - you can only see the controllers, not what is attached to them.
As part of the SMS menu you can see the disks and sizes if you query the controllers - or when you install AIX as you have to select a suitable disks for the installation - with location code.
If you have AIX already installed, run these commands.
to find your SAS disks, run
to figure out the disk size of said disks use
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 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?

vxsplitlines
vxsplitlines(1M)vxsplitlines(1M)NAME
vxsplitlines - show disks with conflicting configuration copies in a cluster
SYNOPSIS
vxsplitlines [-g diskgroup] [-c daname]
DESCRIPTION
If you import portions of a disk group on different systems, this can lead to conflicting configuration copies on the disks of the disk
group.
If the configuration information in a disk group is ambiguous, it may not be possible for Veritas Volume Manager to determine which config-
uration copy is most up-to-date. (This is usually termed a serial split brain (SSB) condition when it occurs in a cluster.) You cannot
import a disk group in this state unless you specify which disk's configuration copy to use.
You can use the vxsplitlines command to see which disks in a disk group have conflicting configuration copies, and use this information
together with your knowledge of the history of the disk groups' usage to determine which configuration copy is most valid.
The output from vxsplitlines displays the vxdg commands that you can run to import the disk group using the available configuration copies.
The -o selectcp option of the vxdg import command is used to select the configuration copy to use for the import.
OPTIONS -c daname Display the SSB IDs for each disk that are stored in the configuration copy on the disk specified by its disk access name.
Note: Although the SSB IDs for some disks may match, this does not necessarily mean that those disks' configuration copies have
recorded all the configuration changes. When viewed from some other configuration copies, the SSB IDs of the same disks may not
match.
-g diskgroup
Specifies the disk group. If a disk group is not specified, the default disk group is used as determined from the rules on the
vxdg(1M) manual page.
EXAMPLES
Display the disks on each side of the split in the disk group newdg:
vxsplitlines -g newdg
Display the SSB IDs stored in the configuration copy on disk c2t4d0:
vxsplitlines -g newdg -c c2t4d0
NOTES
The vxsplitlines is primarily intended to be used with private disk groups, but it also works with shared disk groups.
The version number of the disk group must be 110 or greater.
