Different ways to Enable the path of the channel.
# lspath -l hdisk4
Failed hdisk4 fscsi0
Failed hdisk4 fscsi0
Enabled hdisk4 fscsi1
Enabled hdisk4 fscsi1
# rmpath -l hdisk4 -p fscsi0
paths Defined
# lspath -l hdisk4
Defined hdisk4 fscsi0
Defined hdisk4 fscsi0
Enabled hdisk4 fscsi1
Enabled hdisk4 fscsi1
# rmpath -d -l hdisk4 -p fscsi0
paths Deleted
# cfgmgr
# lspath -l hdisk4
Enabled hdisk4 fscsi0
Enabled hdisk4 fscsi0
Enabled hdisk4 fscsi1
Enabled hdisk4 fscsi1
Or you can use the chpath to enable the path as shown below
#chpath -l hdiskxx -p fscsixx -s enable
or you can use this script
lspv |grep -v rootvg |awk ‘{print $1}’ |while read a
do
chpath -l $a -p fscsix -s enable
chpath -l $a -p fscsix -s enable
done
Hi,
If there’s a temporary failure (fibre-channel cable, or phyiscal HBA), once the problem is solved, shouldn’t the paths get automatically enabled again? Or ,based on your experience, once they fail does the admin must manually enable them?
This post is right on for me since I come from Linux (I’m learning how AIX deals with multipathing).
Thanks,
Jorge
Yes on HBA admin must manually enable them.
