paths are in the Down state.
Replace
Displays the procedure for replacing the disk.
Reset Backup Path
Places the backup path in a state from which it can be started.
Reset Disk
Places the disk in a state from which it can be started. This action might be necessary before starting a disk that has
both paths in a Hard Down state; for example, if a hardware error has occurred, if the disk was stopped with an Abort
action, or if a Stop or Abort fails to put the disk into the Down state.

This action fails if both paths to this disk are down and the mirrored disk is Up. For more information, see
.
Start Disk
Use this action to start all paths to the disk drive only when:
•
The disk paths are in a Down state. (Hard Down states require a reset action, either
,
as appropriate.)
•
Its mirrored disk is not currently Up. The Start Disk action is designed to fail if the mirrored disk is already in an
Up state because the mirror and primary disk volumes can have different data and require a revive operation.
To revive and bring up the disks properly, use the OSM
action or SCF START DISK command.
When the action completes successfully, all paths to the disk are in the Started state.
Start Primary Path
Starts the primary path to this disk drive. When the Start action completes, the primary path is in the Started state.
This action fails if both paths to this disk are down and the mirrored disk is Up. For more information, see
