Resolution
The diagnostic utility vxdmpinq has been renamed to vxscsiinq as it is related to sending SCSI commands and operate on any device and are not DMP specific.
The commands vxdmpinq and vxscsiinq can be used to directly query the disk array LUN information.
These are examples of their use.
Prior to Storage Foundation, 5.1 this command issued.
# /usr/lib/vxvm/diag.d/vxdmpinq EMC_CLARiiON0_0
Inquiry for/dev/vx/rdmp/EMC_CLARiiON0_0, evpd 0x0, page code0x0
Vendorid :DGC
Productid : RAID5
Revision : 0219
SerialNumber :5E0000D6BBCL
From 5.1, this command is used.
#/usr/lib/vxvm/diag.d/vxscsiinq hds9500-alua0_96
Inquiry for/dev/vx/rdmp/hds9500-alua0_96, evpd 0x0, page code 0x0
Vendorid :HITACHI
Productid : DF600F
Revision : 0000
SerialNumber :D60001D30060
The most important part of that output is the LUN SerialNumber which disk array manufacturers guarantee to be unique. The commands vxdmpinq and vxscsiinq can be used to find out if Volume Manager is discovering the same LUN more than once or if different servers are discovering the same LUN.
