Before You Begin

Retrieve the array initiator ID of the disk. On the command line, type the following commands from the /opt/##_OEM_UNIX_OEM_INSSUBDIR_##/Base directory.

root@test # . ./cvprofile
 root@test # ./CvDeviceTreeTest
 1. Get all devices of selected type
 2. Get device information
 3. Get device partitions
 4. Get device Serial
 5. Get Array Initiator Id For Disk
 q. Quit
 Please select: 5
 Enter device name (q-back to main menu): > /dev/dsk/c6t500A098199FAB9F7d2s4
 Parent CvDevice for /dev/dsk/c6t500A098199FAB9F7d2s4 is /dev/dsk/c6t500A098199FAB9F7d2s4
 For device '/dev/dsk/c6t500A098199FAB9F7d2s4' result is:
