arraymgr(1M) arraymgr(1M)
SCSI buses. In some situations, a reset on one SCSI bus can cause the clearing of all
commands on the other bus. When this occurs, the host would typically have to wait
for a timeout before realizing that commands had been lost. If Remote Reset is
enabled (Disable Remote Reset off), the other controller will automatically reset its
own SCSI bus, thus alerting the host that commands have been lost. This allows the
host to respond quickly and reissue any lost commands.
-R Reset the disk array. This operation performs a reset of the disk array.
-s { shut | start }
Shutdown (shut) or restart (start
) the disk array. A shutdown takes the disk
array offline, making all data on the array unavailable to the host. A restart brings
the disk array back online.
-t value Set the capacity threshold warning to the percentage specified by value. The capacity
threshold warning generates an alert when the percentage of disk array capacity
specified by value is in use.
-T { on | off } Set SDTR on or off.
-V Verbose mode displays additional command execution, state, and/or status messages.
-w { on | off } Change the apparent state of write cache on or off. This switch only changes the write
cache setting presented to the operating system and does not affect the operation of
the disk array, which always has write cache enabled. The disk array write cache is
stored in NVRAM which eliminates the need to disable write cache for protection
against power loss. This switch is provided for interoperability with those operating
systems that require write cache be turned off.
-W { on | off } Set WDTR on or off.
-? Display extended usage message. This option overrides all others.
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables
LC_MESSAGES determines the language in which messages are displayed. The current language settings
can be checked with locale(1).
RETURN VALUE
arraymgr returns the following values:
0 Successful completion.
1 An error in execution (I/O, subsystem, security, etc.) occurred.
2 An error in command syntax occurred: for example, an unknown command-line option was passed.
3 Timeout in communication to server. May indicate
ARMServer is not running.
DIAGNOSTICS
The following messages can be generated by
arraymgr:
Usage: arraymgr {[-s shut|start] | [-D alias_name] | -R | -F}
[-V] [-?] <array-id>
An error in command syntax has occurred. Re-enter the command with all necessary arguments.
Usage: arraymgr {[-c X|Y] [-C X|Y addr] [-i on|off]
[-t value] [-e on|off] [-w on|off] [-h on|off]
[-a on|off] [-p high|low] [-P on|off] [-T on|off]
[-W on|off] [-m on|off] [-f on|off] [-r on|off]
[-q value] [-n value] [-o on|off] [-b on|off]
[-g start|stop] [-G value] [-l] [-L]}
[-S] [-V] [-?] [-E num] <array-id>
An error in command syntax has occurred. Re-enter the command with all necessary arguments.
Usage: arraymgr -J SingleController|Secure|Normal|HighPerformance
[-V] [-?] <array-id>
An error in command syntax has occurred. Re-enter the command with all necessary arguments.
arraymgr: Arg out of range
One of the arguments has exceeded its maximum or minimum size, or is incorrect in form. Check the
size and form of each argument.
