AIX Host Utilities is a NetApp host software that provides a command line toolkit on your IBM AIX host. The SAN toolkit is installed when you install the NetApp Host Utilities package. The toolkit provides the sanlun utility, which helps you manage ONTAP LUNs and host bus adapters (HBAs). The sanlun command returns information about ONTAP LUNs mapped to your host, multipathing, and information necessary to create initiator groups.
The following example output shows the ONTAP LUN information returned for the sanlun lun show command:
controller(7mode)/ device host lun vserver(Cmode) lun-pathname filename adapter protocol size mode ---------------------------------------------------------------- data_vserver /vol/vol1/lun1 hdisk0 fcs0 FCP 60g C data_vserver /vol/vol2/lun2 hdisk0 fcs0 FCP 20g C data_vserver /vol/vol3/lun3 hdisk11 fcs0 FCP 20g C data_vserver /vol/vol4/lun4 hdisk14 fcs0 FCP 20g C

The SAN Toolkit is common across all AIX host configurations and transport protocols. As a result, all of the components don't apply to every configuration. Unused components don't affect your system performance. The SAN Toolkit is supported on AIX and PowerVM/VIOS OS versions. |
