On the aix host most of symcli commands are working like sympd , symdg , symcfg but
About inquiry commands like syminq , syminq ¿sym are not working ..what¿s the problem
Do I need to install inq utitilty for that ..it comes with symcli right????
See here if I type syminq it takes me to next command prompt without giving any result..
nahh..you don't need inq for syminq to work correctly. Can you check something ..run syminq hba -fiber ...does that return information about your HBAs?
Yes, I run syminq hba ¿fiber same thing it takes me to next command prompt line with out any result see below Syminq , syminq ¿h , and syminq hba ¿fiber are giving nothing
syminq commands are works fine like 4 days back ...dynamox u remember me i have a problem with gate keepers 2 days back from that day onwards these inq commands are not working...
you see ..sympd, symdg ..commands are going against the symapi_db file ..while syminq actually issues SCSI inquiry against the devices. Everything looks ok in Powerpath ?
the only time i have seen this on one of my system was when i had issues with PowerPath ...just for test ...download the inq utility and try it. I expect you will see the same result ..empty output.

-r-xr-xr-x 1 root system 0 Dec 12 13:23 syminq
The date of the file explains WHEN the syminq command had been corrupted... The size (and the PS1 prompt) explain HOW it was corrupted
A "ls" in /usr/symcli/bin will show that all other executables have an older date .. while syminq was "touched" two days ago.
