In order to find the VIO server name and the vhost details of a particular client from the client server itself, below command can be helpful.
# echo cvai | kdb | grep -i vscsi
read vscsi_scsi_ptrs OK, ptr = 0x59C0380
vscsi0 0x000007 0x0000000000 0x0 VIO1->vhost9
vscsi1 0x000007 0x0000000000 0x0 VIO2->vhost9
In the above o/p,
The disks are shared from the VIO servers, VIO1 & VIO2 through vhost9 from each vio to your client lpar.
Note: 1. Vhost name can vary based on mapping thats been done on the VIO servers.
2. Also the above command works for servers running on AIX 6.1only. For the same details against AIX 5.3 servers please refer the below link.

Dear pradeep,
ReplyDeleteI am facing issue with VG, here problem is VG(small) has created and set the factor value 16 to it for using only two PVS as per concern team requirement but after some days they are requesting us to add more space to that VG to increase filesystem size here what I have to do as per them.
1. do I need to reset the factor value(I am not aware is it possible to reset the factor value in VG, if it is possible then what are the prechecks require before going to reset) or convert the VG type to BIG VG or scalable VG.
I hope you understood the situation and help me to sort out the issue.
