Kdb - vscsi disk mapping from AIX 5.3 CLIENT side

UNIX AIX
1

If you're familiar with vscsi mappings thru a VIO Server, you are probably aware, on an AIX 6.1 Client LPAR, that:

print cvai | kdb

can provide useful information to you.... like VIO Server name & vhost #. But, "cvai" does not appear to be part of the Kernel Debugger in AIX 5.3.

My question is --> is there an equivalent to "cvai" in AIX 5.3 or something similar on the AIX 5.3 client side that provides the VIO Server and vhost # that the vscsi disk is mapped to ?

I do not have an AIX 5.3 system to play with atm, but I do thank you for something new to study!

Something I found useful to see all the commands quickly is:

echo help | kdb >kdb.help

If you're into NPIV, you might also be interested in:

print "vfcs" | kdb                   OR
print "vfcs $fcsNN" | kdb                 where fcsNN=virtual fc client adapter

all run from the client side.

Will have to look into this next time I can! No fibre at home :frowning:
