Verifying the AIX host system configuration on a pSeries

This section provides a command you can run on an AIX host system to verify the configuration of the storage unit for fibre-channel adapters on a pSeries host.

To verify the configuration of the storage unit on a host system running AIX, type the following command:

lsdev -Cc disk | grep 1750

Figure 1 displays example output from the command if the configuration is successful.

Figure 1. Example output when you use the lsdev -Cc disk | grep 1750 command

hdisk3 Available 30-68-01 IBM FC 1750 
hdisk4 Available 30-68-01 IBM FC 1750 
hdisk5 Available 30-68-01 IBM FC 1750 
...

Figure 2 displays example output from the lsdev -Cc disk | grep Other command to list all the disks in the systems that do not contain 1750 disk devices.
