Checking that newly presented EMC disks have been found by the OS. This avoids doing a full devfsadm.

  • Find the syms in the dev group # symdg show device_group

  • Find the identifier of a new disk
    # symmaskdb -sid 271 -dev 1A6B list assignment
    Symmetrix ID : 000287890271

    Device Identifier Type Dir:P
    ------ ---------------- ----- ----------------
    1A6B 210100e08ba1b1e5 FIBRE FA-7A:0
    210100e08ba104ec FIBRE FA-10A:0


  • Find the FA's WWNs
    # symcfg -sid 271 list -fa 7A -p 0
    Symmetrix ID: 000287890271

    S Y M M E T R I X F I B R E D I R E C T O R S

    Dir Port WWN VCM Volume Set Pnt to Pnt
    Enabled Addressing

    FA-7A 0 500604844a36d7c6 Yes No Yes

  • And
     # symcfg -sid 271 list -fa 10A -p 0

    Symmetrix ID: 000287890271

    S Y M M E T R I X F I B R E D I R E C T O R S

    Dir Port WWN VCM Volume Set Pnt to Pnt
    Enabled Addressing

    FA-10A 0 500604844a36d7c9 Yes No Yes


  • Find the controllers that the FA's are connected to
    cfgadm -al  | egrep "500604844a36d7c6|500604844a36d7c9"
    c7::500604844a36d7c9 disk connected configured unknown
    c13::500604844a36d7c6 disk connected configured unknown

  • Configure those adapters/FA's so that the disks are found
    # cfgadm -v -c configure c7::500604844a36d7c9
    # cfgadm -v -c configure c13::500604844a36d7c6
    Both paths should now be visible.
