Manual intervention might be required on the system or partition containing secondary controller to get visibility to the new configuration.
Many configuration and serviceability functions need to be performed on the system or partition that contains a the primary controller. Any functions performed on the system or partition that contains a the primary controller might also require some manual intervention on the system or partition that contains a secondary controller to get visibility to the new configuration.
| Function performed on primary controller | Required configuration on secondary controller |
|---|---|
| Create pdisk (Format to 528 Byte Sectors) | If device was previously a JBOD hdisk: rmdev –dl hdiskX |
| Delete pdisk (Format to 512 Byte Sectors) | Remove pdisk device: rmdev –dl pdiskX |
| Create Disk Array | Configure new hdisk device: cfgmgr –l sissasX |
| Delete Disk Array | Remove array hdisk device: rmdev –dl hdiskX |
| Add disks to Disk Array | No configuration steps needed |
| Reconstruct Disk Array | No configuration steps needed |
| Create/Delete Hot Spare disk | No configuration steps needed |
| Add disk (Hot Plug Manager) | Configure new disk device: cfgmgr –l sissasX |
| Remove disk (Hot Plug Manager) | Remove disk device: rmdev –dl pdiskX |
| Reclaim Controller Cache Storage | No configuration steps needed |
