driver fileset for DS4700 storage

[trifo]

Hi Folks,

I spent almost a whole day searching driver for DS4700 storage box to AIX 5.2 Or even a client users manual, but no luck.

Can you tell me which fileset to install?

Thanks,

I suppose native DS attachement without SVC :
you need the RDAC driver for multipathing and the filesets for the corresponding FC adapter

Thanks a lot. The fileset I was lookig for is devices.fcp.disk.array.rte

The HBA was already installed, at the host worked fine using SDDPCM and an ESS800 storage box. Now it will access both storages simultaneously.

Acutally is there a way to know if an RDAC disk device is open or not? I mean some features like

sddpcm query devices

which reports status info of every ESS disks. fget_config does not provide such an iformation.
