System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown Reference Manual

Determining I/O Paths 

There are several ways to determine the I/O paths for devices that are
attached to the system:

   *   Look at the address and physical connection of the device.

   *   Run the IOMAP utility from ISL.

   *   List the logical device (LDEV) numbers, paths, and classes with
       the SYSGEN utility IO configurator for devices that have already
       been configured.

SYSGEN does not indicate if the configured device is active or available.
(The command SHOWDEV lists each configured device, and if it is
AVAILABLE.) The START command is used to initiate the booting of the
system, which automatically identifies the system state at boot time.
The system state at boot time provides information on which paths have
been configured and which drives are available.
