This command will not complete and return to a shell prompt until the format operation is
complete. Depending on the capacity and model of disk drive, this can take a considerable amount
of time.
STATUS
The STATUS command displays the status of any volume synchronization operation that is
currently in progress on the controller.
Syntax
cfggen <controller #> status
Parameters
<controller #>
A SAS controller number between 0 and 255.
Operation
If no volume synchronization is in progress, CFGIR will print a message so indicating before
exiting. The STATUS command will add the flag “Inactive” to the Volume State field, if the
volume is marked as Inactive by the controller firmware.
Sample Output
The following is an example of the status information returned when a volume resynchronization
is in progress.
Background command progress status for controller 0...
IR Volume 1
Current operation : None
Volume ID : 2
Volume status : Enabled
Volume state : Optimal
Physical disk I/Os : Not quiesced
The status fields in the data displayed can take on the following values:
•
Current operation - Synchronize or None
•
Volume status - Enabled or Disabled
•
Volume state - [Inactive] Optimal, Degraded or Failed
•
Physical disk I/Os - Quiesced or Not quiesced
ENABLEIR
The ENABLEIR command turns on IR functionality on a SAS controller. The enabling is
accomplished by clearing the
MPI_IOUNITPAGE1_DISABLE_IR
bit in the IO Unit 1 MPT
Configuration Page.
Syntax
cfggen <controller #> enableir
Parameters
<controller #>
A SAS controller number between 0 and 255.
Operation
If there are any existing IR volumes when this command is run you will be notified via an output
message, no action will be taken and
cfggen
will return SUCCESS. If IR is currently enabled
when this command is run
cfggen
will return SUCCESS.
