armdiag
Description
The armdiag command provides advanced diagnostic capability for isolating
problems with the array.
Caution The functionality available using the armdiag command can
damage the array and cause data loss if not used properly. In
addition, the Virtual Array SCSI Specification is required to use
this command. Contact HP support for assistance before using
armdiag.
Syntax
armdiag -C {-c <cdb> | -cf <filename>} -dir <direction> -p <password> [-d <data> |
-df <filename>] [-sf <filename>] [-b <buffer_size>] [-i <iteration>] <array_id>
armdiag -P -f <FRULocation> {-c <cdb> | -cf <filename>} -dir <direction> -p <password>
[-d <data> | -df <filename>] [-sf <filename>] [-b <buffer_size>] [-i <iterations>] <array_id>
armdiag -I [-if <filename>] [-q] <array_id>
armdiag -W <array_id>
armdiag -Core [-Cf filename] <array_id>
armdiag -?
Options
-b <buffer_size> An integer value that limits the size of the data coming back from the array. If
not specified, the buffer size defaults to 1024 bytes.
-c <cdb> The SCSI command descriptor block (CDB). The CDB is specified in hex values
(e.g. 0xa0) and defines the operation the array will perform.
-C Sends a generic SCSI pass-through command to the array controller. If one
controller does not respond, the other controller will be tried.
-Core Get the core file from the array. The core data (~48 MB) must be returned to
the HP support organization for analysis. The information is sent to standard
out by default.
This command is valid only for VA 7110 and VA 7410 arrays.
