Veritas NetBackup™ Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide

Obtaining the Hitachi array serial number and the unique device identifiers

The NetBackup policy requires the Hitachi array's serial number and the unique IDs (device identifiers) for the source and clone LUNs. Use the following procedure to obtain that information.

To obtain the Hitachi array serial number and the unique device identifiers

  • Enter the following command:
       /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/nbfirescan

    Example output:

    DevicePath            Vendor   Product ID  EnclosureId  DeviceId  [Ctl,Bus,Tgt,Lun]
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    /dev/rdsk/c2t6d15s    HITACHI  F600F      6484         53        [00,00,00,00]
    /dev/rdsk/c2t6d14s6  HITACHI   F600F      6484         52        [00,00,00,00]

    The Enclosure ID is the serial number and the Device ID is the array's device ID.
