? On how to see an unmounted SAN


Typically when I'm given a SAN attached to one of my servers i'm not given any information on it. Usually I can get my with an fdisk -l to tell me what's out there. Twice now I've had to ask what the connection device is. What command can be run other than fdisk -l, I've seen something ran people by another guy but was not able to write it down at the time and have forgotten it.

Lots of options, but since you don't say what version/distro of Linux, anything about your SAN setup, or what software you're using (Veritas, PowerPath, etc.), it's hard to say.

If your SAN guys aren't giving you the info you need, either your or your boss need to go put foot to butt, and make them do a good, complete job. Shoving something out there, and not giving any info about it, isn't a good idea, and is definitely not professional.
