Is there a command I can run on my HP /LINUX to see if uses SAN? This command work son AIX ls -al /DEV/rdsk however it does not work on HP Linux. Please let me know?
Thanks
A 'df' shows what is mounted or virtual, and 'find' has '-local' . . . .
Depends on the type of SAN, FC cards, whether multipathd is being used, etc.
You can try a few things. Run lspci and check for HBAs. Check dmesg. Specific things - check for kernel modules loaded for your HBA, check your multipathd config, etc. Some specific HBAs/fabric setups have their own drivers/software (PowerPath for EMC, SanSurfer for QLogic). Check with your storage admins.
Actually this command is better: mount
Mostly, the nature of nfs or other mount system storage and more proprietary fiber network attachments makes it both nonportable and opaque!
