AIX procedure for changing the PID format
This procedure is not intended to be comprehensive. It provides a starting point from which a SAN
administrator can develop a site-specific procedure for a device that binds automatically by PID, and
cannot be rebooted due to uptime requirements.
1.
Back up all data. Verify backups.
2.
Perform the appropriate actions based on whether you using or not using multipathing software:
If you are not using multipathing software, stop all I/O going to all volumes connected through the
switch or fabric to be updated.
If you are not using multipathing software, vary the volume groups offline. The command usage is
varyoffvg <volume_group_name>
. For example:
varyoffvg datavg
3.
Perform the appropriate actions based on whether you using or not using multipathing software:
If you are not using multipathing software, unmount the volumes from their mount points using
umount. The command usage is
umount <mount_point>
. For example:
umount /mnt/jbod
If you are using multipathing software, use that software to remove one fabric’s devices from its
configuration.
4.
Remove the device entries for the fabric you are migrating. For example, if the HBA for that fabric is
fcs0, execute the command:
rmdev -Rdl fcs0
5.
Connect to each switch in the fabric.
6.
Enter the
switchDisable
command.
7.
Enter the
configure
command and change the Core Switch PID Format to 1.
8.
Enter the
configEnable [effective_zone_configuration]
command. For example:
configenable my_config
9.
Enter the
switchEnable
command. Enable the core switches first, and then the edges.
