-T Specifies the task to run.
RAID Hot Plug Devices
This task allows the user to identify, or remove a RAID device in a system unit that uses a SCSI Enclosure
Services (SES) device. The following subtasks are available:
v
Normal
v Identify
v
Remove
The Normal subtask is used to return a RAID hot plug device to its normal state. This subtask is used
after a device has been identified or replaced. This subtask lists all channel/IDs of the RAID and the status
of the devices that are connected. A device in its normal state has power and the check light is off.
The Identify subtask is used to identify the physical location of a device or an empty position in the RAID
enclosure. This subtask lists all channel/IDs of the RAID and the status of the devices that are connected
to the RAID enclosure. If a device is attached to the selected channel/ID, the check light on the device will
begin to flash. If the channel/ID does not have a device attached, the light associated with the empty
position on the enclosure will begin to flash.
The Remove subtask is used to put the RAID hot plug device in a state where it can be removed or
replaced. This subtask lists all channel/IDs of the RAID adapter that have devices that can be removed.
Only devices with a status of
Failed , Spare , Warning , or Non Existent can be removed. A device’s status
can be changed with the AIX smitty pdam command. After a device is selected for removal, the check
light on the device will begin to flash, indicating that you may physically remove that device.
Standalone Diagnostics has restrictions on using the RAID Hot Plug Manager:
v Devices being used as replacement devices must be exactly the same type of device as the device
being replaced.
v
New devices may not be added unless a device of the same FRU part number already exists in the
system because the configuration information for the new device is not known after the Standalone
Diagnostics are booted.
You can run this task directly from the command line. See the following command syntax:
diag -c -d <device name> -T "identifyRemove -l <ChId> -s {identify|remove|normal}
Flags Description
-c Run the task without displaying menus. Only command line prompts are used.
-d Raid adapter device name (for example, scraid0 ).
-s Subtask to execute such as identify, remove, or normal.
-l CHId is the channel number of the RAID adapter and SCSI ID number of the position in the
enclosure concatenated together (for example, 27 for channel 2, device 7).
-T Task to run.
