It depends quite what you are looking for. Do any of these help (sorry but I no longer have access to AIX so I'm a bit rusty!)
What are the metrics you are looking for? Is it the LPAR view of the assigned disk to the size of the disk that is owned by the hardware as a whole? The LPAR will not see that.
I hope that these suggestions give you something.
Robin
Thank Robin, I would like to check at the physical hardware console, not from LPAR, have not LPAR right now.

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.

Hi Zxmaus,
I understand now that from physical hardware Power Machine we cannot check the disk and size.
Still have 1 thing to ask, for SAS disk, I see it is part of raid controller. The disk is called pdisk. After configuring raid, it becomes hdisk which AIX can see. The question is, if in the first time, we assign the controller and its disks to LPAR to install AIX. How can we configure the raid before AIX OS can see these disks?
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?

vxbootsetup
vxbootsetup(1M)vxbootsetup(1M)NAME
vxbootsetup - set up system boot information on a Veritas Volume Manager disk
SYNOPSIS
/etc/vx/bin/vxbootsetup [-g diskgroup] [medianame ... ]
DESCRIPTION
The vxbootsetup utility configures physical disks so that they can be used to boot the system. Before vxbootsetup is called to configure a
disk, the required volumes, standvol, rootvol and swapvol (and optionally, dumpvol) must be created on the disk. All of these volumes must
be contiguous with only one subdisk.
The -g option may be used to specify the boot disk group.
If no medianame arguments are specified, all disks that contain usable mirrors of the root, swap, /usr and /var volumes are configured to
be bootable.
If medianame arguments are given, only the disks that are associated with the specified disk names are configured to be bootable.
vxbootsetup requires that:
o The root volume must be named rootvol and must have a usage type of root.
o The swap volume must be named swapvol and must have a usage type of swap.
o The volumes containing /usr and /var (if any) must be named usr and var, respectively.
See the chapter "Recovery from Boot Disk Failure" in the Veritas Volume Manager Troubleshooting Guide for detailed information on how the
system boots and how VxVM impacts the system boot process. The vxmirror, vxrootmir, and vxresize utilities call vxbootsetup automatically.
If you use vxassist, or vxmake and vxplex to create mirrors of the root volume on a disk, you must run vxbootsetup explicitly to make the
disk bootable.
ARGUMENTS
medianame
Specifies the disk name (disk media name) of a VM disk that is to be configured as bootable.
