Fail Over a Logical Unit
This operation is applicable only to devices in the following two categories:
- Unordered List ItemAsymmetric devices with a proprietary failover mechanism recognized and supported by multipathing support
- Unordered List ItemDevices conforming to the T10 Standard Target Port Group Support libmpscsi_vhci.so and providing explicit mode asymmetric logical unit access
mpathadm show lu <logical-unit-name command>
Example:
Logical Unit: /dev/rdsk/c4t600A0B8000505B5000000D304C10C46Dd0s2
