disk size

[terrywashington]

Is there a command in AIX that displays the size of the disks on a system (similar to the Solaris format command)? I have tried lspv <physical volume> but this only works on disks that are assigned to a volume group.

You could use the &quot;lscfg -vl hdisk?&quot; command to find out the disk size.

One catch, if these disk were purchase from IBM for the RS/6000 system it will display the size and Model number. If the disk is OEM, it will not display actual disk space. Instead it will say &quot;other scsi disk drive&quot;. However, it will display the Model number and from the OEM model number you could find the actual disk size.

Hope this helps,

You can also try:

lsattr -El hdisk# | grep size_in_mb - for SCSI drives

and

lsattr -El pdisk# | grep size_in_mb - for SSA drives
