Determining a storage system name from its SAN Volume Controller name using the CLI

You can determine a storage system name from its SAN Volume Controller name using the command-line interface (CLI).

  1. Issue the following CLI command to list the storage system:

    svcinfo lscontroller

  2. Record the name or ID for the storage system that you want to determine.
  3. Issue the following CLI command:

    svcinfo lscontroller controllername/id

    where controllername/id is the name or ID that you recorded in step 2.
  4. Record the worldwide node name (WWNN) for the device. The WWNN can be used to determine the actual storage system by launching the native user interface or using the command-line tools it provides to verify the actual storage system that has this WWNN.
