Figure 58 Volume discovery

Discovering a remote volume

The inqraid command exports the device information discovered on the production servers. The
device information includes "Keyword, Serial#, Ldev#, Device file name..". The raidscan -find
inst

command on RAID Manager server imports the device information, and registers it into the

HORCM daemon.

The inqraid command is needed only for discovering LUNs on the production server.

(1) inqraid format

The inqraid command adds the "-export" option with -CLI for exporting the results of the volume
discovery on the remote server.

Example from UNIX (Solaris):

# ls /dev/rdsk/c1t* | inqraid -CLI -export
INQRAID:@CL4-G@64015@0@124@OPEN-V-CM@/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2
INQRAID:@CL4-G@64015@1@124@OPEN-V-CM@/dev/rdsk/c1t0d1s2
INQRAID:@CL4-G@64015@2@95@OPEN-V@/dev/rdsk/c1t0d2s2
INQRAID:@CL4-G@64015@3@95@OPEN-V@/dev/rdsk/c1t0d3s2
INQRAID:@CL4-G@64015@4@95@OPEN-V@/dev/rdsk/c1t0d4s2
INQRAID:@CL4-G@64015@5@95@OPEN-V@/dev/rdsk/c1t0d5s2
INQRAID:@CL4-G@64015@7@95@OPEN-V@/dev/rdsk/c1t0d7s2

(2) A way to export/import using pipe & SSH

Example for exporting from UNIX (Solaris) to RAID Manager host:

# ls /dev/rdsk/c1t* | inqraid -CLI -export | ssh
<RAID Manager host> raidscan -find inst
DEVICE_FILE Group PairVol PORT TARG LUN M SERIAL LDEV
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d2s2 G1 G1-000 CL4-G-1 57 2 0
64015 2
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d2s2 G1 G1-000 CL4-G-1 57 2 -
64015 2
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d3s2 G1 G1-001 CL4-G-1 57 3 0
64015 3
