A blast from the past, the actual script:


#!/bin/sh
# lsssa.sh, James A. Peters, 4/17/1998, jpeters@my-dejanews.com
# Display AIX SSA adapter and disk configuration. This script has
# to run as "root" but will not modify the current SSA disk config-
# uration.
#
# Reference the following URL for IBM's version:
#
# http://service.boulder.ibm.com/aix.u...s/os/smap.html
#
# None of the SSA utilities have "man" pages. The only reference
# worth noting is the InfoExplorer SSA device driver page:
#
# info -t "ssadisk ssa device driver"
#
# Determining how SSA adapters and disks are configured is useful
# for re-mapping {h,p}disk's to SSA slot location. By default the
# configuration is random. Determining a disks identity is accomp-
# lished using "ssaidentify".
#
# WARNING: Re-mapping an active disk is not recommended.
#
# To re-map SSA disks perform the following:
#
# 1) Determine which disks require re-mapping using this script.
#
# ./lsssa.sh
#
# NOTE: a copy of current configuration should be preserved.
#
# 2) Verify that the disk is not in use.
#
# lspv -l `ssaxlate -l pdisk{#}`
#
# 3) Remove the disk devices.
#
# rmdev -d -l pdisk{#}
# rmdev -d -l hdisk{#}
#
# NOTE: "ssaxlate" should be used to verify pdisk to hdisk
# mapping.
#
# 4) Verify that the SSA pdisk is now avaliable.
#
# ssacand -a ssa{#} -P
#
# 5) Make the re-mapped pdisk.
#
# mkdev -p ssar -c pdisk -s ssar -t {TYPE} -w {CONNWHERE} -l pdisk{#}
#
# {TYPE} and {CONNWHERE} are derived from this script.
#
# 6) Make the re-mapped hdisk.
#
# mkdev -p ssar -c disk -s ssar -t hdisk -w {CONNWHERE} -l hdisk{#}
#
# {CONNWHERE} should be same value used in Step #5.
