List available RAID HBAs and Subsystems
=====================================================================
Type # Model Alias WWN
=====================================================================
hba 1 * Pegasus R6 2000-0001-5530-9404
hba 2 Pegasus R6 2000-0001-5530-9416
Totally 2 HBA(s) and 0 Subsystem(s)
————————————————————-
The row with ‘*’ sign refers the current working HBA/Subsystem path
To change the current HBA/Subsystem path, you may use the following command:
  spath -a chgpath -t hba|subsys -p .

Step 2: Choosing which Pegasus is the currently active unit for command line instructions.
  1. At the cliib> prompt, type: spath.
  2. You will get an output similiar to this:

cliib> spath

=====================================================================

Type # Model Alias WWN

hba 1 * Pegasus R6 2000-0001-5530-9404 hba 2 Pegasus R6 2000-0001-5530-9416

Totally 2 HBA(s) and 0 Subsystem(s)

cliib>

  1. The active Pegasus will be marked with a ‘*’ symbol.
  2. Use the spath command to change to a different Pegasus. In this example, we’re going to choose Pegasus #2 above.
  3. At the cliib> prompt, type: spath -a chgpath -t hba -p 2

cliib> spath -a chgpath -t hba -p 2

  1. To verify the change, use the spath command again.

cliib> spath ===================================================================== Type # Model Alias WWN ===================================================================== hba 1 Pegasus R6 2000-0001-5530-9404 hba 2 * Pegasus R6 2000-0001-5530-9416 Totally 2 HBA(s) and 0 Subsystem(s)

Note now the ‘*’ is on Pegasus #2. Now all command line instructions will operate on Pegasus #2 in the list.
