The number of disks display by the sam command using “Sam Areas->Disks and File Systems->Disk Devices” might be incorrect. The number of paths displayed for a device might also be incorrect. This problem exists on disks configured under both SCSI and AVIO storage adapters. ioscan displays all the disks correctly.

For example, the following are the sam output and theioscan output on the same HP-UX 11i v2 guest:

"Disk Devices" window in sam(1M) shows the following disks and number of paths: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xDisk Devices 0 of 8 selectedx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x Hardware Number Volume Total x x Path of Paths Use Group Mbytes Description x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xx 0/0/2/0.0.0 2 VxFS/Swap -- 70007 HP Virtual x xx 0/0/5/0.0.0 1 Unused -- 69504 HP Virtual x xx 0/0/5/0.1.0 2 Unused -- 70007 HP Virtual x xx 0/0/5/0.2.0 2 Unused -- 70007 HP Virtual x xx 0/0/6/0.3.0 1 Unused -- 70007 HP Virtual x xx 0/0/6/0.4.0 1 Unused -- 70007 HP Virtual x "ioscan -kfnC disk" shows the following disks: Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description ======================================================================= disk 15 0/0/2/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP Virtual Disk /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s1 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s2 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 disk 16 0/0/5/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP Virtual Disk /dev/dsk/c3t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c3t0d0 disk 18 0/0/5/0.1.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP Virtual Disk /dev/dsk/c3t1d0 /dev/rdsk/c3t1d0 disk 20 0/0/5/0.2.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP Virtual Disk /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /dev/rdsk/c3t2d0 disk 17 0/0/6/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP Virtual Disk /dev/dsk/c4t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c4t0d0 disk 19 0/0/6/0.1.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP Virtual Disk /dev/dsk/c4t1d0 /dev/rdsk/c4t1d0 disk 21 0/0/6/0.2.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP Virtual Disk /dev/dsk/c4t2d0 /dev/rdsk/c4t2d0 disk 23 0/0/6/0.3.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP Virtual Disk /dev/dsk/c4t3d0 /dev/rdsk/c4t3d0 disk 25 0/0/6/0.4.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE HP Virtual Disk /dev/dsk/c4t4d0 /dev/rdsk/c4t4d0
