Working with Disks
Displaying the Initialization State of a Disk
To determine if the disks attached to a controller are initialized, use
the
disk list command, as in the following example. The listing
shows that the first three disks are Initialized, and that the fourth
disk with a SCSI device ID of 2:04:0 is Not Initialized. Note that the
Usage
column displays Initialized or Not Initialized. See Displaying
Disk Usage on page 4-6 for a description of the other values that can
appear in the Usage column.
HPN0> disk list
Executing: disk list
C:ID:L Device Type Blocks Bytes/Block Usage Shared
------ ----------- --------- ----------- --------------- ------
2:01:0 Disk 17783240 512 Initialized NO
2:02:0 Disk 17783240 512 Initialized NO
2:03:0 Disk 17783240 512 Initialized NO
2:04:0 Disk 17783240 512 Not Initialized NO
Initializing a Disk
To initialize a SCSI disk, use the disk initialize command, as
in the following example. The example shows how to initialize a
disk that has a SCSI device ID of (2,4,0).
HPN0> disk initialize (2,4,0)
Executing: disk initialize (CHANNEL=2,ID=4,LUN=0)
Note: Initializing disks with outstanding NT references. See
your Windows NT documentation for information on NT
references.
After running the disk initialize command, use the disk
list command again to verify that the disk has been initialized.
See the Command Line Interface Reference Guide for information on
how to initialize disks that have data and disks that have containers
with open files.
Working with a Default SCSI ID
Most of the disk commands and many of the container commands
require you to specify one or more SCSI device IDs. For
