network are SSA RAID adapters.
Syntax
ssavfynn [-w]
Description
The ssavfynn command is in the /usr/lpp/diagnostics/bin file. It has no flags.
If the ssavfynn command runs and finds no duplicate node numbers on the SSA
network, it returns no message.
If the command finds duplicate node numbers, it returns a message that is similar to
that shown here:
SSA User Configuration Error:
Node Number 1 is set on both
Local Host ’abc.somewhere.ibm.com’ and Remote Host ’xyz’
This message says that a problem exists between your machine (abc) and another
machine (xyz) that is connected through the SSA network. The names shown are the
DNS names of the machines.
Flags
-w Turns on the network-wide check. It checks local node numbers against
remote node numbers, and remote node numbers against other remote node
numbers. The normal check is local node numbers against remote node
numbers.
Output
The ssavfynn command sends all error messages to stderr. It sends all
configuration-problem messages to stdout.
