Default format FC Disk

Hi,

i need to format hdisk1 and hdisk2. As you can seen these drives are
connected via Fibre Channel. I tried to use diag but it doesn't show
hdisk1 and hdisk2.

> lsdev -Cc disk

hdisk0 Available 10-60-00-0,0 16 Bit LVD SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk1 Available 10-70-01 Other FC SCSI Disk Drive
hdisk2 Available 10-70-01 Other FC SCSI Disk Drive

Any ideas ??

Thanks in advance,
Tobias

Yes, it appears you do not have the required drive installed for your disk
subsystem.
Visit the support webpage of your disk subsystem manufacturer, download and
install the correct device driver, rmdev the disk, reboot the server and
configure the disk using the documentation from the disk manufacture and LVM
ie EMC powerpath doc, IBM SDD doc..

Tobias-

Looks like either the required driver or ODM entries aren't installed for
your disks (Ex. If they were EMC attached, instead of Other FC SCSI Disk
Driver it would read EMC Symmetrix RAID-... Device or something like that.

Make sure all your required software is installed, then

Rmdev -dl hdisk1
Rmdev -dl hdisk2

Cfgmgr

And see what happens.
