Hi,

I am trying to write a script to identify a shared disk
attached to two system. In AIX there is a unique disk id attached with
each disk, is there something similar in HPUX? I just want to identify
a shared disk and notify the same on console.

Regards,
Harshal

I have used the following to uniquely identify disk between two
systems:

head -200 /dev/dsk/c#t#d# | cksum

This will give you a unique checksum. It works for me, but test it in
your environment first!

Cheers,
Jim
