Verifying the ESS configuration
To verify the configuration of the ESS on the AIX host system, type the following
command:
lsdev -Cc disk | grep 2105
A list of all ESS devices displays. See the example in Figure 34.
If a device is listed as another type of device, the message in Figure 35 displays.
This message indicates that the configuration was not successful.
When you use the lsdev -Cc disk | grep 2105 command, you know the installation
is successful if you see the information listed in Figure 34.

lines that contain the value immediately after it. If you have not defined any 2105
devices, a message of none displays.
