device paths

[cndcadams]

besides using prtconf -vp, format, dmesg, messages, and path_to_inst are there any command line commands to get physical, and logical paths to disks in a system.

Also is there a command besides eeprom to get aliases for drives from the OS?

also besides format is there a command line to flash drive leds?

thanks

If you're using Veritas DMP you can use vxdmpadm to see your disk path outputs for SAN storage. Is this what you're looking for? Just type vxdmpadm on the command line with no arguments to see how to construct the command with flags and args.

Monitor out of pixels, I'll need to go grab a box and fill'r up.

Thanks for the response.

I was teaching a class on Solaris this week and someone said they had read about a command that would give them the info I asked about above, but they could not remember the command.

So the questions really only pertain to the Solaris OS not Veritas or RM6.

I do appreciate the input as I do have to put together some info on Veritas so that will be helpful.

Thanks

From the lom, if the server has a front panel locator led, use setlocator to flash the led.

sc> setlocator on
sc> setlocator off

Oh you said drive led's. Ignore the above. For what it's worth: all of what you want can be found easily with AIX

AIX... the best UNIX!

I usually use ls -l /dev/dsk/*s2.

I'm not aware of anything other than eeprom for reading the EEPROM, nor can I think of a reason why you'd want one?

dd if=/dev/rdsk/cNtNdNs2 of=/dev/null count=NNNN would also flash the drive LEDs, right?

very funny KHZ;

And I am aware that AIX has such a nice tool thanks

It is just one of those things where someone tells you something that you probably should know when teaching a class. Most likely he is just confussing his solaris knowledge with AIX. I searched around and really could not find anything else in solaris to give you the info I was looking for but figured with all the guru techs we have around here someone might know this.

As I told the students I know alot of different things but not everything or I would not be working for someone else.

thanks for the response;
