Retrieving information about a DMP node

The following command displays the Dynamic Multi-Pathing (DMP) node that controls a particular physical path:

# vxdmpadm getdmpnode nodename=pathname

The physical path is specified by argument to the nodename attribute, which must be a valid path listed in the device directory.

The device directory is the /dev directory.

The command displays output similar to the following example output.

# vxdmpadm getdmpnode nodename=sdbc
NAME              STATE   ENCLR-TYPE   PATHS ENBL DSBL ENCLR-NAME
====================================================================
emc_clariion0_89 ENABLED EMC_CLARiiON 6     6    0    emc_clariion0

Use the -v option to display the LUN serial number and the array volume ID.

# vxdmpadm -v getdmpnode nodename=sdbc
NAME             STATE  ENCLR-TYPE  PATHS ENBL DSBL ENCLR-NAME SERIAL-NO ARRAY_VOL_ID
=====================================================================================
emc_clariion0_89 ENABLED EMC_CLARiiON 6   6    0   emc_clariion0 600601601 893

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
==========================================================
sdm      ENABLED  ACME       2      2     0    enc0
sdn      ENABLED  ACME       2      2     0    enc0
sdo      ENABLED  ACME       2      2     0    enc0
sdp      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
==================================================================
