Retrieving information about a DMP node
The following command displays the DMP node that controls a particular physical path:
# vxdmpadm getdmpnode nodename=c3t2d1
The physical path is specified by argument to the nodename attribute, which must be a valid path listed in the /dev/rdsk
directory.
The command displays output similar to the following:
NAME STATE ENCLR-TYPE PATHS ENBL DSBL ENCLR-NAME =============================================================== c3t2d1 ENABLED ACME 2 2 0 enc0
Use the -v
option to display the LUN serial number and the array volume ID.
DEMC_CLARiiON 6 6 0 emc_clariion0 600601606D121B007C778BC48EDBDB11 162
# vxdmpadm -v getdmpnode nodename=c3t2d1

Use the enclosure attribute with getdmpnode to obtain a list of all DMP nodes for the specified enclosure.
# vxdmpadm getdmpnode enclosure=enc0
NAME STATE ENCLR-TYPE PATHS ENBL DSBL ENCLR-NAME ========================================================== c2t1d0 ENABLED ACME 2 2 0 enc0 c2t1d1 ENABLED ACME 2 2 0 enc0 c2t1d2 ENABLED ACME 2 2 0 enc0 c2t1d3 ENABLED ACME 2 2 0 enc0
Use the dmpnodename attribute with getdmpnode to display the DMP information for a given DMP node.
# vxdmpadm getdmpnode dmpnodename=emc_clariion0_158
NAME STATE ENCLR-TYPE PATHS ENBL DSBL ENCLR-NAME ================================================================== emc_clariion0_158 ENABLED EMC_CLARiiON 1 1 0 emc_clariion0
