Answer

The following example shows how to find out which AIX hdisk is using which NetApp LUN. Here, we want to see which NetApp LUN is mapped to AIX hdisk6. AIX native commands are used to obtain more information since the customer has not installed the AIX Host utility kit.

AIX Server command:

This command will show the NetApp WWPN, AIX hdisk, NetApp LUN ID:

aix-cn22:/# lscfg |grep NetApp
* hdisk6           U0.1-P1-I6/Q1-W500A098196981B83-L5000000000000  MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk   ----> NETAPP WWPN and Lun id 5 (L5).
* hdisk7           U0.1-P1-I6/Q1-W500A098196981B83-L0              MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk   ----> NETAPP WWPN and Lun id 0 (L0).
* hdisk10          U0.1-P1-I6/Q1-W500A098196981B83-LF000000000000  MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk   ----> NETAPP WWPN and Lun id 15 (LF).
* hdisk11          U0.1-P1-I6/Q1-W500A098196981B83-LB000000000000  MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk   ----> NETAPP WWPN and Lun id 11 (LB).
* hdisk12          U0.1-P1-I6/Q1-W500A098196981B83-L1000000000000  MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk   ----> NETAPP WWPN and Lun id 1 (L1).
* hdisk2                                                           NetApp iSCSI LUN
* hdisk3                                                           NetApp iSCSI LUN
* hdisk9                                                           MPIO NetApp iSCSI Disk

This command will show what Fibre Channel (FC) adapter is installed on this AIX server:

aix-cn22:/ lsdev -C |grep FC
fcs0         Available 1V-08         FC Adapter
fcs1         Available 1n-08         FC Adapter
fscsi0       Available 1V-08-01      FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device
fscsi1       Available 1n-08-02      FC SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device
hdisk4       Defined   1V-08-01      MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk
hdisk5       Defined   1V-08-01      MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk
hdisk6       Available 1V-08-01      MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk
hdisk7       Available 1V-08-01      MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk
hdisk8       Defined   1n-08-02      MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk
hdisk10      Available 1V-08-01      MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk
hdisk11      Available 1V-08-01      MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk
hdisk12      Available 1V-08-01      MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk
hdisk14      Defined   1V-08-01      MPIO NetApp FCP Default PCM Disk

 

This command will give you the corresponding Lun serial number for the hdisk:

bash-4.4# lscfg -vl hdisk8
hdisk8 Other iSCSI Disk Drive

Manufacturer................NETAPP
Machine Type and Model......LUN C-Mode
ROS Level and ID............39353030
Serial Number...............80Ejn?Lq
Device Specific.(Z0)........0000043270181002
Device Specific.(Z1)........ZilO
Device Specific.(Z2)........S262
Device Specific.(Z3)........0
Device Specific.(Z4)........

Note: The Lun serial number has to be calculated by using the Serial number and Device Specific (Z1) i.e 80Ejn?LqZilO

 

This command will show you the WWPN of the FC adapter:

aix-cn22:/# lscfg -vl fcs0
  fcs0             U0.1-P1-I6/Q1  FC Adapter

     Part Number.................00P4295

     Customer Card ID Number.....5704
     FRU Number..................00P4297
     Device Specific.(ZM)........3
     Network Address.............10000000C9375B9A ----> WWPN of the FCS0 adapter on the AIX server, match this with the igroup show output on the Filer.

     Device Specific.(Z0)........2003806D
     Device Specific.(Z1)........00000000

     Device Specific.(Z9)........HS1.91X4
     Device Specific.(ZA)........H1D1.91X4
     Device Specific.(ZB)........H2D1.91X4
     Device Specific.(ZC)........00000000
     Hardware Location Code......U0.1-P1-I6/Q1
