288 Managing the Disk Array Using Array Manager 60

Listing Disk Array IDs

You may find it useful to list the disk arrays recognized by the host. The list will include
both the disk array ID (or S/N) and alias name if one has been assigned. This is a quick way
to determine the ID of each disk array on your system.

Note

What if a disk array is not listed?
If the list does not reflect the current disk arrays on your system, rescan for disk
array as described in the next procedure. This will update the disk array list.

To list all the disk arrays, type:

amdsp -i

Note

To avoid having to use the array ID when managing the disk array, you may
want to create an alias. You can also export the array ID to a variable and use
the variable. For example, to export the ID for array

000000057D22

to a

variable named id, type the following:

# export =000000057D22

You can then use

$id

in place of

Rescanning for Disk Arrays

If the configuration of the disk arrays on your system has changed, you can rescan the disk
arrays to update the information. This command causes Array Manager 60 to rescan the
system for new or modified disk arrays connected to the host.

To rescan for disk arrays, type:

amdsp -R

When the rescan is complete, the command prompt will return. The command does not
return a message indicating the operation is complete.
