Default AIX 5.2 connected to a TP9500

Hello all,

we have a p690 IBM system running AIX 5.2 and we would like to attach it to a
storage partition of an SGI TP9500 via 2 2Gigabit FC connections (2 PCI-X FC
6239, type 5705 IBM adapters). The TP9500 is similar to a FASt 900.

Does anyone know of the necessary steps to accomplish this task? I've noticed
that the TP9500 requires the host port numbers (WWN) to be specified for the
partition that will be accessible by the IBM host. Does anyone know how to
obtain this information from the AIX side? How are failover paths for
FC storage specified in AIX 5.2?

Thanks a lot!
