The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Disk size from lsattr

I have EMC disks presented i.e. as shown below.   Unlike other disks, lsattr doesn't show the size of disks.
What the command to view the size of disks?   There are a bunch of EMC disks.  I like to have a script that can return the names of disks with their sizes.

I tried, but am getting:

# lspv hdiskpower44
0516-304 : Unable to find device id hdiskpower44 in the Device
        Configuration Database.

# lspv hidsk 70
0516-306 : Unable to find  hidsk in the Device
        Configuration Database.

you can try this little script. It will give you information about the physical disks, VG"s, filesystems and free space. Redirect to file.

If the disk hasn't been assigned a PVID, and if it's not yet part of a volume group, you probably won't be able to do an "lspv".

Instead, try "inq" (you'll need to have installed "EMC.Symmetrix.aix.rte") and "grep" for the name.

For example:

    /usr/lpp/EMC/Symmetrix/bin/inq.aix64_51 | grep hdiskpower44

(you might need to do a "find inq*" to find the inq command)

You should get output similar to this:

    /dev/rhdiskpower44  :DGC     :RAID 5          :0219  :2900003E   :    52428800

The far-right column is the disk capacity of the hdiskpower in kilobytes.
