symdev show and powermt display dev=

root [/root] symdev -sid xxx show 0DF9

Device Physical Name : Not Visible

}


:root [/root] powermt display dev=c104t9d0

106 0/0/8/0/0.99.18.19.0.9.0 c106t9d0 FA 10aB active alive 0 0



I am trying these two commands in multiple LUNs and i see that symdev reports invisible. But powermt display prove that device is visible.

Is this normal? On another when tried the masked device showing visible by symdev command.

Have you tried symcfg discover before running symdev?

You're not looking at the same devices:

Symdev show is for FA 7bB & 10bB (or 7b:1 and 10b:1 if you prefer)

Powermt display is for 7aB & 10aB (ot 7a:1 and 10a:1)

Anyway - as suggested also perform a "symcfg discover" to re-discover the Symm & the host's visible paths. Symdev show works from a cached copy of the bin in /var/symapi/db, which will be wrong if you've just masked new devices.

Dont`t be misled by the Physical device name - this will always be seen as `not visible` if a name has not been assigned to the device. This is irrespective of your masking i.e it will be in this state even after your masking has been updated.

here is the right one. I interchanged th LUNs when selcted to post here. Symcfg did the result to me.
