Hp-ux gurus:
 I thought there was a command to scan the status of fiber channel cards,
similar to lanscan for network interfaces. You run it to start up the fiber
channels, I believe.

Any help is appreciated.

There two FC drivers in HP-UX (td & fcd) for two different FC hardware.
Use tdutil if you are using 'td' driver OR fcdutil if you are using 'fcd'
driver.

-- vishwas

Try fcmsutil. It can ben in /opt/fc/bin/ and/or /opt/fcms/bin. It helps you 
to troubleshoot the FC Loop ot SAN. It is invoked using the device file of 
the FC adapter. Here is what you might see depending on the interface:

Tachyon Example:

# fcmsutil /dev/fcms2

Local N_Port_ID is = 0x000001

N_Port Node World Wide Name = 0x10000060B03EF669

N_Port Port World Wide Name = 0x10000060B03EF669

Topology = IN_LOOP

Speed = 1062500000 (bps)

HPA of card = 0xFFB4C000

EIM of card = 0xFFFA2009

Driver state = READY

Number of EDB's in use = 0

Number of OIB's in use = 0

Number of Active Outbound Exchanges = 1

Number of Active Login Sessions = 3

Tachyon TL/TS/XL2 Example:

# fcmsutil /dev/td0

Vendor ID is = 0x00103c

Device ID is = 0x001028

TL Chip Revision No is = 2.3

PCI Sub-system Vendor ID is = 0x00103c

PCI Sub-system ID is = 0x000006

Topology = PRIVATE_LOOP

Local N_Port_id is = 0x000001

Local Loop_id is = 125

N_Port Node World Wide Name = 0x50060b0000010449

N_Port Port World Wide Name = 0x50060b0000010448

Driver state = ONLINE

Hardware Path is = 0/3/0/0

Number of Assisted IOs = 47983

Number of Active Login Sessions = 0

Dino Present on Card = NO

Maximum Frame Size = 960

Driver Version = @(#) libtd.a HP Fibre Channel

Tachyon TL/TS/XL2 Driver B.11.11.09 (AR1201) /ux/kern/ki
