Preparing to Manage the Disk Array

Before you begin using Array Manager 60 to manage your disk array for the first time, you
may want to perform the following procedure. It will locate all the disk arrays on the host
and allow you to assign an alias to each one. A short, meaningful alias should be easier to
remember than the disk array ID when using the Array Manager 60 commands.

1. Rescan for all disk arrays on the host by typing:

amdsp -R

2. List all the disk arrays by typing:

amdsp -i

Each disk array will be listed along with its ID.

3. Assign an alias to each disk array by typing:

ammgr -D

ArrayAlias is the name you want to assign to the disk array. You can use up to 16 of
the following characters: letters, numbers, pound sign (#), period (.), and underscore
(_). All other characters are invalid.
