Scenario for finding available LUNs

6.10 LPAR mode z/VM guest

There are several steps from setting an FCP device online to listing the available LUNs.

Procedure

  1. Check for available FCP devices of type 1732/03:
    # lscss -t 1732/03
    Device   Subchan.  DevType CU Type Use  PIM PAM POM  CHPIDs
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    0.0.3c02 0.0.0015  1732/03 1731/03      80  80  ff   36000000 00000000 
    Another possible type would be, for example, 1732/04.
  2. Set the FCP device online:
    # chccwdev 0.0.3c02 --online
    A port scan is performed automatically when the FCP device is set online.
  3. Optional: Confirm that the FCP device is available and online:
    # lszfcp -b 0.0.3c02 -a
    0.0.3c02 host0
    Bus = "ccw"
        availability        = "good"
    ...
        failed              = "0"
    ...
        in_recovery         = "0"
    ...
        online              = "1"
    ...
    
  4. Optional: List the available ports:
    # lszfcp -P
    0.0.3c02/0x50050763030bc562 rport-0:0-0
    0.0.3c02/0x500507630310c562 rport-0:0-1
    0.0.3c02/0x500507630040727b rport-0:0-10
    0.0.3c02/0x500507630e060521 rport-0:0-11
    ...
  5. Scan for available LUNs on FCP device 0.0.3c02, port 0x50050763030bc562:
    # lsluns -c 0.0.3c02 -p 0x50050763030bc562
    Scanning for LUNs on adapter 0.0.3c02
            at port 0x50050763030bc562:
                    0x4010400000000000
                    0x4010400100000000
                    0x4010400200000000
                    0x4010400300000000
                    0x4010400400000000
                    0x4010400500000000
                    0x4010400600000000
                    ...
