I understand a bit better now what you are trying to do. I also agree with jsilva, you will need to find docs for the FC Switch. You need to zone the switch so the WWNs for the AIX systems and the WWNs for the storage controllers are in the same zone. You may also need to setup some sort of LUN security on the SAN side. If you can give us details about the vendor and model of the FC Switch and Storage Unit someone on the forum can probabaly help you. If the AIX systems and the storage unit are the only devices on the FC Switch, you should be able to either turn off zoning or create a zone with all nodes (WWNs) in it so both systems see all LUNs off the storage unit.

Hi everyone,
I need to write some AIX scripts (ksh?), kind of fast so I'm looking for somewhere to get a crash course in it. Are there any AIX Specific Scripting resource sites that anyone can recommend, really not getting a whole lot from google.
Thanks in advance,

greetings -
just noticed that on my aix 7.1 systems, they're running 'hrd' under SRC. Some lite googling reveals an association with HFI, which I believe is the p775 HPC interface ?

nbp_name
NBP_NAME(3) Library Functions Manual NBP_NAME(3)
NAME
nbp_name - NBP name parsing
SYNOPSIS
nbp_name( name, obj, type, zone )
char *name, **obj, **type, **zone;
DESCRIPTION
nbp_name() parses user supplied names into their component object, type, and zone. obj, type, and zone should be passed by reference, and
should point to the caller's default values. nbp_name() will change the pointers to the parsed-out values. name is of the form
object:type@zone, where each of object, :type, and @zone replace obj, type, and zone, respectively. type must be proceeded by `:', and
zone must be preceded by `@'.
EXAMPLE
The argument of afpd(8)'s -n option is parsed with nbp_name(). The default value of obj is the first component of the machine's hostname
(as returned by gethostbyname(3)). The default value of type is ``AFPServer'', and of zone is ``*'', the default zone. To cause afpd to
register itself in some zone other than the default, one would invoke it as
afpd -n @some-other-zone
obj and type would retain their default values.
BUGS
obj, type, and zone return pointers into static area which may be over-written on each call.
