Compaq HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.4 Configuration and CLI Reference Guide
Adding Disk Drives
The factory-installed devices in your StorageWorks subsystem have already been
added to the controller’s list of eligible devices. If you want to add new devices to
your subsystem, you must issue one of the following CLI commands before you can
use them in any kind of storageset, single disk unit, or spareset:
Adding One Disk Drive at a Time
To add one new disk drive to your controller’s list of eligible devices, enter the
following command at the prompt:
ADD DISK disk nnn ptl-location switch_value
Adding Several Disk Drives at a Time
To add several new disk drives to your controller’s list of eligible devices, enter the
following command at the prompt:
RUN CONFIG
Formatting Disk Drives
Use HSUTIL’s FORMAT option to simultaneously format up to seven disk drives
attached to a single controller or up to six disk drives attached to a dual-redundant pair
of controllers. Refer to the HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.3 and 8.4
Maintenance and Service Guide for more information on HSUTIL.
Consider the following points before formatting disk drives with HSUTIL:
■ HSUTIL cannot format disk drives configured as single-disk drive units or as
members of a storageset, spareset, or failedset. If you want to format a disk drive
that was previously configured as one of these things, you must first delete the
unit number and storageset name associated with it.
