from host perspective ?

for AIX you could try: inq -sym_wwn

yaa..when i run the symdev show on both i get the same symm column
value see..

Courne1/root: / > symdev show 04F3 -sid XXXX
Front Director Paths (1):
{
----------------------------------------------------------------------
POWERPATH DIRECTOR PORT LUN
--------- ---------- ---- -------- ---------
PdevName Type Type Num Sts VBUS TID SYMM Host
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not Visible N/A FA 14A:1 RW 000 00 003 N/A
}

Courne1/root: / > symdev show 04E3 -sid XXX

Front Director Paths (1):
{
----------------------------------------------------------------------
POWERPATH DIRECTOR PORT LUN
--------- ---------- ---- -------- ---------
PdevName Type Type Num Sts VBUS TID SYMM Host
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not Visible N/A FA 14A:1 RW 000 03 003 N/A
}


i never done that lun offsetting during assigniong the devices to hosts ..
do i need to add any flags while mapping devices for lun offsetting ??
can u tell me briefly how it works ?.

thankx

but the TID is diffent there

tried that command already but it doesn't giving the lun number

Courne1/root: /tmp/prod > ./inq.aix64_51 -sym_wwn

the symcfg with available addresss option gave me some result ..
but i didn't understand one thing in my output , it showing me that lun number 000 is already used
still that same number 000 is in state of AVAILABLE , what it means there can me multiple of same lun number
on single FA ???

thank you,

you are not doing any kind of lun offsetting ? Does symdev show output shows the same value in the SYMM column for both devices ?

how about writing a loop and use symdev show, something like this:

symdev show -sid 123 7DC | grep FA | awk '{print $9}'

i forgot to post symcfg output..here it is

Courne1/root: / > symcfg list -sid XXX -fa 3A -p 1 -addresses -available

Symmetrix ID: XXXXX

Director Device Name Attr Address
---------------------- ----------------------------- ---- --------------
Ident Symbolic Port Sym Physical VBUS TID LUN
------ -------- ---- ---- ----------------------- ---- --- ---

FA-3A 03A 1 - AVAILABLE 0 00 000 *
0657 Not Visible (M) 0 03 000
065B Not Visible (M) 0 03 001
065F Not Visible (M) 0 03 002

great . its working
i write a small script with that awk line to get all other devices..
can u guys help to clarify that second thing about the same lumber issue ,
here is info about one more FA , it using same lun number ( 003 ) twice for
different devices

Courne1/root: / > symcfg list -sid XXX -fa 14A -p 1 -addresses -available

Symmetrix ID: XXXXX
