## Determining the number of paths to an external storage subsystem 

By using IBM FlashSystem 9100 CLI commands, it is possible to determine the total number of paths to an optional external storage subsystem. To determine the proper value of the available paths, use the following formula: 

Number of MDisks x Number of FS9100 nodes per Cluster = Number of paths MDisk_link_count x Number of FS9100 nodes per Cluster = Sum of path_count 

Example 10-6 shows how to obtain this information by using the lscontroller <controllerid>  and svcinfo lsnode  commands.
