Preparing to transition SAN boot LUNs on AIX hosts with FC/FCoE configurations
Before you transition a SAN boot LUN on an AIX host with an FC/FCoE configuration, you must record the name of the 7-Mode LUN on which AIX is installed and the SCSI device name for that LUN.
-
From the console of your Data ONTAP operating in 7-Mode controller, identify the 7-Mode LUN name on which AIX 7.1 and AIX 6.1 operating system is installed:
lun show
-
Obtain the SCSI device name for the LUN on the host:
sanlun lun show
In the following example, the transition LUN is
lun_sanboot_fas3170_aix04
and the SCSI device for this LUN ishdisk0
