  • 1.  AIX and Powerpath issue (EMC Symmetrix)

    On the lspv output I noticed 4 of 8 hdiskpower devices without PVIDs - those PVIDs are now seen on plane EMC's hdisk devices. But then I check in "powermt display dev=all" I see all hdiskpower devices with complete number of paths (corresponding hdiskX devices). Also lsdev -Cc disk shows all hdiskpower and EMC's plane hdisks available. No changes were done on system side since several weeks so I am surprised what could happen..

    Anyone has an idea what could happen and how to fix it online (service can't be stopped right now)?

    The system is AIX 5.3 TL11 SP4
    EMC ODM and Powerpath 5.3

    Hi,
    You must upgrade ODM definition to ,and Power Path to ..
    There was problem in 5.3 version - on PowerLink you can find procedure how to fix it.
