Displaying Disk Array Serial Numbers
Displaying Disk Array Serial Numbers
The serial numbers of all disk arrays connected to the host can be displayed by typing:
arraydsp -i
Missing Disk Arrays? If you know there are disk arrays connected to the host but they are not
displayed in response to the arraydsp command, check the following:
Make sure all disk arrays are properly connected to the host. This includes proper termination
of the SCSI bus.
Make sure all disk arrays are turned on and operating properly.
Make sure the ARMServer process is running. ARMServer must be running to execute this or
any other ARM command. You can easily check to see if the ARMServer process is running
using the following command:
Rescan for disk arrays by typing: arraydsp -R. This will update the ARMServer information to
reflect the current system configuration.
Changing Disk Array Configuration Settings
A number of configuration settings control the operation of the disk array. These settings are usually
established during installation and once set, should rarely need to be changed.
The default settings have been selected to provide the best operation for most systems. However, if you
determine that any setting does not meet your needs, you can easily change it.
Table 17
lists the various settings, including factors you may want to consider when changing them.
