Dell PowerFlex 4.6.x Install and Upgrade Guide

Retrieve volume information for AIX

On AIX servers, associate the PowerFlex volume ID with the AIX physical device.

1. On the SDC host, run the following command to get the operating system volume information:

   #odmget -q "name like scinid* and attribute=vol_id" CuAt

   Output similar to the following is displayed:

   CuAt:
   name = "scinid0"
   attribute = "vol_id"
   value = "e120a92d00000000"
   type = "R"
   generic = "D"
   rep = "s"
   nls_index = 22
   [root@cnode02 /]#odmget -q "name like scinid* and attribute=vol_id" CuAt
   
   CuAt:
   name = "scinid2"
   attribute = "vol_id"
   value = "e120a92f00000002"
   type = "R"
   generic = "D"
   rep = "s"
   nls_index = 22
   
   CuAt:
   name = "scinid8"
   attribute = "vol_id"
   value = "e120a93500000008"
   type = "R"
   generic = "D"
   rep = "s"
   nls_index = 22
   
   CuAt:
   name = "scinid0"
   attribute = "vol_id"
   value = "e120a92d00000000"
   type = "R"
   generic = "D"
   rep = "s"
   nls_index = 22

   You can get information for a single volume by using this command:

   #odmget -q "name=scinid0 and attribute=vol_id" CuAt

2. Match the value of the value field with the PowerFlex volume ID.
