Hello all,



I am a Solaris administrator who has been given the task of remotely
gathering information on the raw disk capacity of a bunch of SUN ,HP and AIX
machines.



I am trying to avoid counting disks twice when thy are shared by many
machines and clusters. I am also want to avoid missing disks that might be
mirrors or otherwise associated with logical volumes or RAIDS of any type.



For Solaris boxes I plan to use format to capture all of the disks that an
individual server can see and then do an iostat to capture disk manufacture
and serial numbers.

It seems that I can then just processes all of the results and eliminate
duplicate entries for disks (via serial number) that are shared among
machines.



My question is how can I capture the same information on the AIX and HP
boxes?

I cannot find any commands the correspond directly to format and iostat for
these environments.



Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Thanks in advance,



Dave
