Hi, For the device in question, I did: "fdisk -l /dev/md10". I received the following output: Disk /dev/md10: 73.2 GB, 73270689792 bytes 2 heads, 4 sectors/track, 17888352 cylinders Units = cylinders of 8 * 512 = 4096 bytes Disk /dev/md10 doesn't contain a valid partition table However, when I list out /dev/mpath, I get the following: ls -lrt total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 26 07:28 mpath3 -> ../dm-8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 26 07:28 mpath3p1 -> ../dm-10 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 26 07:28 mpath2p1 -> ../dm-9 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Mar 26 07:28 mpath2 -> ../dm-7 How do I interpret this output? Does it mean the absence of "md10" means that it resides on the internal drive. I know that /dev/dm-9 and /dev/dm-10 reside on the SAN. But, I guess I was looking for a more concrete way to tie /dev/md10 to the attached devices in /proc/scsi/scsi so that I can definitely say it's on the FUJITSU drive or on the SUN StorEdge 3510.

Assuming that you are using MPIO , have you compared the output of fdisk -l to the dm device names in /dev/mpath?

I'm assuming that root_vg resides on the internal disks and san_vg on the SAN. But, how can I check to make sure this is the case? Thank you, The New Busy is not the old busy.
