Example Syntax

In this example, you want to bring physical disk 3 on connector 0 of controller 1 back online. On a SAS controller, the physical disk resides in enclosure 2.

Example for SCSI, SATA, and ATA Controllers:

To online the physical disk described in this example, you would enter:

omconfig storage pdisk action=online controller=1 pdisk=0:3

See "pdisk=<PDISKID> Parameter on SCSI, SATA, and ATA Controllers" and "Multiple Targets" for more information on physical disk specification. See "RAID
Controller Technology: SCSI, SATA, ATA, and SAS" to identify which technology a controller uses.

Example for SAS Controllers:

To online the physical disk described in this example, you would enter:

omconfig storage pdisk action=online controller=1 pdisk=0:2:3

See "pdisk=<PDISKID> Parameter on SAS Controllers" and "Multiple Targets" for more information on physical disk specification. See "SAS RAID Controllers" to
identify which controllers use SAS technology.

omconfig Assign Global Hot Spare

Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."

Use the following omconfig command syntax to assign a physical disk as a global hot spare.


Complete Syntax

omconfig storage pdisk action=assignglobalhotspare controller=id pdisk=<PDISKID> assign=yes

where id is the controller ID. The <PDISK> variable specifies the physical disk. See "pdisk=<PDISKID> Parameter" for more information.

To obtain these values, you would enter omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then enter omreport storage pdisk controller=ID to
display the IDs for the physical disks attached to the controller.

Example Syntax

In this example, you want to assign physical disk 3 on connector 0 of controller 1 as a global hot spare. On a SAS controller, the physical disk resides in
enclosure 2.

CAUTION: The SAS 6/iR controller enables you to assign two physical disks as global hot spare. Assigning a physical disk as a global hot spare on
a SAS 6/iR controller is likely to cause data loss from the physical disk. If the system or boot partition resides on the physical disks, it may be
destroyed. You should only assign physical disks that do not contain critical data. For more information about global hot spares and the SAS 6/iR,
see "Global Hot Spare Considerations on a SAS 6/iR."
