which command to list the configured HBA card and WWN# at AIX and solaris ?

Stefano, any unix command to check WWN# (emulex and qlogic) at solaris besides lputil for emulex ?

symcfg list -fa all -sid xxxx

symmask -sid xxx list logins

There is one pretty neat output that the Solaris EMCGrab Gathers, across both Emulex/QLogic HBA's, outputs a file called hbainfo.txt sample for one HBA below:

Now I'm sure the script for this is located within the emcgrab.sh file, I'm not much of a 'scripter' so can't help you much more

Unfortunatly I don't think there is a single unix command that is "vendor independent" .. an HBA usually have its own driver ... and the driver will log entries in logfiles at boot. If you need further informations on the HBA you need vendor-specific tools .. Emulex offers lputl .. Qlogic have SanSurfer (but it's a GUI, not a CLI utility).

On AIX and HPUX you are lucky since vendors supply both the HBA and the driver. Better, the driver have a "well known" interface and the OS offers commands to query the HBA (tdutil/fcmsutil on hpux) or -even better- the OS considere the HBA as part of the hardware and allows you to show details on the HBA using standard OS commands (AIX).

As you can see, there is no "standard" .. every OS have its own glitches .. You are free to choose the OS with less glitches

Correct me if I'm wrong .. But AFAIK this command will work ONLY you can see a VCM at the host level (you have the special file). If I can see the VCM I already built zones. So I already have the WWN

thanks Conor .. I was expecting this from host perspective only .

You have options ..

1) plug a fibre in the HBA and in a port of your beloved switches .. and lookup the wwn on the switch

2) if you already have zones you can always use "symmask list hba" (note that it won't work if you can't see a VCM from an HBA).

3) it depends on the host/HBA ..
With Solaris/emulex you can use lputil (in /usr/sbin/lpfc/ I suppose)
With Solaris/Qlogic I suspect you have to lookup the /var/adm/message* files.
With AIX I hope primus emc7302 still works

symmask list hba

yep, i guess it depends at what state of deployment you want to pull up HBA information.

hbainfo is a utility supplied within emcgrab. It uses libHBAAPI, a freeware library that wraps SNIA API ... I don't really know if hbainfo is part of "hbaapi" .. however it's based on hbaapi. Even if it's available as part of EMCGrab, I don't think it's available as a standalone application.

libHBAAPI.so is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
Source and binary forms of the Common HBA API library V1.0 can be
obtained from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/hbaapi.

Conor .. apparently no magic scripting involved .. simply a touch of C

I'm impressed - thanks Stefano

Nothing impressive at all .. Just a little "tar" here and there .. and part of a readme file that you can find in emcgrab directory

for Solaris 10, you can run:

/usr/sbin/fcinfo hba-port

I think that should work on most HBA's.....it has more options for more information as well....ie:
