AIX Host Installation/Upgrade Procedures
•Run cfgmgr
•Run lsdev - Cc disk
• If no hdisks are seen, move the one connected cable to the other HBA,
and rerun the previous two commands.
• Once hdisks are detected and using a failover architecture, run the
following command
/usr/lpp/cbxdpf/dpfutil listall
the output will look similar to the following.
Device Active Standby
hdisk1 cbx0 (fscsi1 0,0)
hdisk2 cbx1 (fscsi1 0,1)
hdisk3 cbx6 (fscsi1 0,2)
hdisk4 cbx7 (fscsi1 0,3)
In the above example fscsi1 indicates that we are connected to the
fcs1 HBA. In this case we are connected to the wrong HBA. We want
to be connected to fcs0 HBA. If this is the case, we will fix the cabling
later in the procedure.
• Once hdisks are detected and not using a failover architecture, run the
following command
- rmdev -Rdl fcs1
- if the command removes hdisks, this indicates that we are
connected to the fcs1 HBA. In this case we are connected to the
wrong HBA. We want to be connected to fcs0 HBA. If this is the
case, we will fix the cabling later in the procedure.
• If the cabling for fcs0/controller A is correct, connect the fcs1/controller
B cable to the empty HBA, and run cfgmgr. Label the HBAs with the
correct fcs numbers.
• If the cabling for fcs0/controller A is incorrect, then perform the
following steps.
- rmdev -Rdl fcs1
- move the FC cable for fcs0/controller A to the other HBA
- connect the FC cable for fcs1/controller B to the empty HBA
- label the HBAs with the correct fcs numbers
- run cfgmgr.
Verifying Volumes/LUNs/hdisks
The new hdisks should show up in smit or using the lsdev command.
The following example is for a failover solution:
# lsdev –Cc disk
hdisk0 Available 10-60-00-10,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk1 Available 10-68-05 STK Universal XPort
