3.2 Device Utility Procedures
This section contains procedures and examples for some representative tasks
that are frequently performed using the onboard utilities of the HSD05 array
controller.
3.2.1 Formatting and Qualifying a SCSI Drive
You can format a specified device that is AVAILABLE to the HSD05 array
controller using the FORMAT command. After the format operation is completed,
you should use the QUALIFY command to verify that the device is ready for use.
You should also run the DISKTEST procedure given in Section 3.2.2 to further
test the drive before it is returned to service.
Format and Qualify Task Procedure
Use the following procedure to format and qualify a specified device:
1. At the UTILIT prompt, enter the SHOW command with the
device_name
qualifier to determine device status.
2. If the device status is not AVAILABLE, enter the appropriate operating
system commands to make the device available to the HSD05 array controller.
3. At the UTILIT prompt, enter the SELECT command and specify a device
name.
4. Verify that the device status has changed to MAINT in the SELECT display.
5. Enter the FORMAT command and specify the
device_name
of the device to be
formatted.
6. At the verification prompt, check that the device name given under the Device
header of the FORMAT display is the device that you need to format. Answer
‘‘Y’’ or ‘‘YES’’ to begin the format operation.
7. Monitor the Maint Oper status of the format operation using the SHOW
command. When the status changes back to IDLE, the format operation is
complete.
8. Enter the QUALIFY command to begin the qualify operation.
9. At the verification prompt, check that the device name given under the Device
header of the QUALIFY display is the device that you need to format. Answer
‘‘Y’’ or ‘‘YES’’ to begin the qualify operation.
10. Monitor the pass counter of the SHOW command display until one or more
passes have been completed by the utility.
11. Enter the ABORT command to terminate the qualify operation.
