We have a new Symmetrix VMAX SE in our environment. Once we assign new luns to the host, what are the host-specific commands that need to be run to to discover/configure new devices.
we have
1.windows standalone & cluster
2.ESX hosts
3. AIX hosts, VIO servers& clients

John,
can't remember from the top but they are all documented in Host Connectivity guides for each platform

LUN ID has always been a 2 byte hex value. 00-ff, for a total of 256.
For LUN ID used 2 byte hex value, LUN ID may be from 0 to 255, total 256, but LUN ID 0 used for controller.
It correct for all OS. For vSphere you can read vSphere Configuration Maximums.1484

hi
If we mapped & Masked to a LPAR in VIO servers ( we use NPIV WWPN) we have to run vxdctl -enable.

why would you run vxdctl -enable unless you run Veritas LVM ?

Windows - go into Disk Administrator and hit rescan
ESX - use vSphere go to ESX server, configuration tab, add storage
AIX - cfgmgr
