Displaying device parity status
Use these steps to display device parity status.
- From the System Service Tools (SST) menu, follow
these steps:
- Select option 3 (Work with disk units).
- Select option 1 (Display disk configuration) on the Work with Disk Units display.
or from the Use Dedicated Service Tools (DST) menu, follow these steps:- Select option 4 (Work with disk units).
- Select option 1 (Work with disk configuration) on the Work with Disk Units display.
- Select option 1 (Display disk configuration) on the Work with Disk Configuration display.
- Select option 1 (Display disk configuration status) on the Display Disk Configuration display.
The Display Disk Configuration menu appears.
- Select option 5 (Display device parity status) on the Display Disk
Configuration display and press the Enter key. The Display Device Parity Status display appears:

It includes controllers that can support device parity protection and all of the disk units that have the hardware capability for device parity protection. The possible values for the Status column are as follows:
- Active
- This unit is part of a disk unit subsystem that has device parity protection. This unit is fully operational.
- Failed
- This unit is part of a disk unit subsystem that has device parity protection. This unit has failed. If another unit in the disk unit subsystem fails, data could be lost.
- % Rebuilt
- This unit is part of a disk unit subsystem that has device parity protection. The data on this unit is being rebuilt from other units in the disk unit subsystem.
- Unprotected
- This unit is part of a disk unit subsystem that has device parity protection. This unit is operational. However, another unit in the disk unit subsystem has failed or is being rebuilt. If another unit in the disk unit subsystem fails, data might be lost.
- % Resyncing
- The parity for the parity set is being built from the data within the disk unit subsystem.
