Working with Disks
This chapter explains how to use the CLI to manage the disks
connected to a RAID controller.
In this document, a disk is a randomly accessible, re-writable SCSI
data storage device on a SCSI channel. Each disk is a component in a
RAID configuration and is connected to a controller by a channel.
The CLI enables you to monitor disk characteristics and parameters,
prepare a disk for use by a controller, and detect defects. See the
Flexible Array Storage Tool User’s Guide for a discussion of disk
concepts.
