Please explain what problem you are having. I'm assuming that you have searched on the IBM site, but I find nothing relevant. Please confirm what you are looking for or explain the function that is not working.
Do you mean flash prom perhaps, or is it domains? I regret that I'm rather confused.
The output you are probably looking for will be from lscfg Assuming that you have a volume group of two devices (to make it easy) of which one is real spinning disk and one is SSD, you could get output like this:-
Of course you will probably have different disk types, perhaps a RAID device or a SAN LUN assigned.
You will need to check which filesystems are on spinning disk (hdisk1 in my example):-
This might produce quite a lot of output, so probably best to catch it to a file. You can then move the logical volumes with migratepv Depending on mirrored LVs and available space on each target disk, you may be better moving each logical volume under your control:-
If you are sure that the target disk has sufficient space to do it all in one go, you can just
The process will probably take a while. Each allocated PP is copied and synced in turn before the old one is removed, whether there is data in it or not, so a 500 Gb filesystem with 200 Mb used will take ages to move, however this can all be done with the filesystem active.
You will have to ensure that if your LV is mirrored, that you do not violate the rules keeping the various partitions separate.
I hope that this helps. For completeness of the thread, it would be good if you can post the output of the disk types.
hmm... somehow the things you state do not add up to a coherent picture.
You can use the "lsattr -El <device>" command to get more information about a device - such as a disk. If your concern is that the SSD disks are visible at all to the system, then this is the way to go. Notice, though, that you will only see directly connected disks this way. What you have shown is a "virtual SCSI" device. I suppose your LPAR got it from a VIOS. You will not be able to see the properties of the physical disk from the LPAR in this case, because it gets the disk without caring where it comes from (just like a file doesn't care what the filesystem it resides at is made from). You will have to log on to the VIOS (or whatever exports the disk - SAN fabric, ...) and look there.
If you have made sure there is a SSD device your system recognizes as a "hdisk" device you may wonder if it is part of a certain volume group. Issue "lspv" in this case and see all the physical volumes along with the volume groups they belong to.
If you are sure a PV is part of a certain VG and wonder if a certain logical volume is on this PV issue a "lslv -m" to get a map file f the LV.
I am still not sure what you are about (you might consider taking a step back, drink a coffee to come down, then explain what your problem is v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y and concisely), but anyway, i hope this helps.

I need some assistance creating a mount to a share on an AIX system on a SuSe Linux box. I haven't had any luck using the Connect to Server option within the gui, so I am assuming I need to use the 'mount' command but need some assitance with the syntax if this is the right way to go.
