I'm New to AIX / VIOS
We're doing a FC switch cutover on an ibm device, connected via SAN.
How do I tell if one path to my remote disk is lost? (aix lvm)
How do I tell when my link is down on my HBA port?
Appreciate your help, very much!
That depends on the FC-driver you use. With the EMC driver suite, for instance, there is the powermt command to answer both these questions.
I hope this helps.

For standard AIX MPIO - lspath , for IBM SDD PCM - pcmpath , Hitachi and their OEMs - dlnkmgr .
If the link is down on your HBA port, you should see it using either fcstat or lsattr -El fscsiX where X is the number of your device.
Thank you for your help!
I changed out one the two FC switches. It appears my paths have all come back up except for this one "dac0" which appears as "missing" and I'm not having any luck getting rid of that... All of the disks came back fine, just dac0 is missing. This output is from my lpar, not the underlying VIO server. Any ideas?
#lsdev -l dac0; lsdev -l dac1
dac0 Defined 10-T1-01 MPIO XIV Controller
dac1 Available 10-T1-01 MPIO XIV Controller

Hi,
you could try to make that device available with cfgmgr -l dac0 .
If this not help you should validate the state of the parent devcie with lsparent -Cl dac0 .
