This is a raw disk test file.

0+1 records in.

0+1 records out.

2. Get the unique_id of the SAN LUN. While the odmget command has been

used below, the lsattr command is also useful for this task.

# odmget CuAt | grep -p unique_id | grep -p hdisk8

CuAt:

name = "hdisk8"

attribute = "unique_id"

value = "3E213600A0B8000291B0800009A8103FAF5B50F1815

FAStT03IBMfcp"

type = "R"

generic = "D"

rep = "nl"

nls_index = 79

On the Virtual I/O Server

3. Set up zoning on the SAN switch such that the LUN from the previous step is

visible to the Virtual I/O Server. Verify that the disk that you are seeing on the

Virtual I/O Server is the same as the standalone machine disk. If they are the

same disk, the values of the unique_id will match:

# odmget CuAt|grep -p unique_id|grep -p hdisk6
