Include Excluded MDisks: An MDisk could be excluded from IBM Flex System V7000
Storage Node because of multiple I/O failures. These failures might be caused, for
example, by link errors. After a fabric-related problem has been fixed, the excluded disk
can be added back into IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node by selecting the MDisks
and clicking Include Excluded MDisk from the Actions drop-down menu.
򐂰 Rename: MDisks can be renamed by selecting the MDisk and clicking Rename from the
Actions drop-down menu. Input the new name of your MDisk and click Rename
(Figure 8-54).

򐂰 Show Dependent Volumes: The volumes dependent on a particular MDisk can be
displayed by selecting the MDisk and clicking Show Dependent Volumes from the
Actions drop-down list. The volumes are listed with general information (Figure 8-55).
Figure 8-55 Show dependent volumes
Several actions can be taken on volumes by selecting the volume and choosing the action
needed from the Actions drop-down menu or by right-clicking the volume. For more
information about volume actions, see Chapter 6, “Basic volume and host configuration”
on page 255.
MDisks detection: The Detect MDisks action is asynchronous. Although the task
appears to be finished, it still might be running in the background.
