HP-UX GUID Manager v1.0 Administrator Guide

4 Using GUIDMgr commands
This chapter lists the GUIDMgr commands used to manage WWNs.
• Managing the database
• Configuring a range
• Managing a WWN
4.1 Managing the database
The following GUIDMgr commands manage the GUIDMgr database:
• guiddbutil –c wwn
Creates the WWN database, with the range_wwn table, addr_wwn table, and
db_vers_wwn.
• guiddbutil –d wwn
Deletes the WWN database.
• guiddbutil –s range_wwn wwn
Displays the contents of the range_wwn table.
• guiddbutil –s db_vers_wwn wwn
Displays the contents of the db_vers_wwn table.
• guidconfig –b backend
Configures backends used by the GUID server.
• guidconfig –h hostname
Configures client to a specific GUID server.
The following commands in the previous list are issued automatically by the
guid_client_prepare.sh script:
• guiddbutil –c
• guidconfig –b
4.2 Configuring the database
The following GUIDMgr commands configure a range of WWNs in the database:
• guidmgmt -S wwn 50014c2100001000 50014c21000010ff
Limit the length to 34K, and limit the number of ranges to 100.
NOTE: The GUIDmgr provides a shorthand option for specifying WWNs in the
50014c2000000000-50014c2fffffffff range. For example, the following two commands are
the same:
guidmgmt -S wwn 0 7fff
guidmgmt -S wwn 50014c2000000000 50014c2000007fff
