Delete Resource from Resource List

Use this task to delete resources from the resource list.

Note: Only resources that were previously detected by the diagnostics and have not
been deleted from the Diagnostic Test List are listed. If no resources are available
to be deleted, then none are listed.

Disk Maintenance

This service aid provides the following functions:

Disk to Disk Copy

Display/Alter Sector

Disk to Disk Copy

Notes:

1. This service aid cannot be used to update to a different size drive. The service

aid only supports copying from a SCSI drive to another SCSI drive of similar
size.

2. Use the migratepv command when copying the contents to other disk drive

types. This command also works when copying SCSI disk drives or when
copying to a different size SCSI disk drive. Refer to

System Management Guide:

Operating System and Devices for a procedure on migrating the contents of a
physical volume.

AIX V4.3 Documentation CD. The

documentation information is made accessible by loading the documentation CD
onto the hard disk or by mounting the CD in the CD-ROM drive.

This selection allows you to recover data from an old drive when replacing it with a
new drive. The service aid recovers all Logical Volume Manager (LVM) software
reassigned blocks. To prevent corrupted data from being copied to the new drive,
the service aid stops if an unrecoverable read error is detected. To help prevent
possible problems with the new drive, the service aid stops if the number of bad
blocks being reassigned reaches a threshold.

To use this service aid, both the old and new disks must be installed in or attached
to the system with unique SCSI addresses. This requires that the new disk drive
SCSI address must be set to an address that is not currently in use and the drive be
installed in an empty location. If there are no empty locations, then one of the other
drives must be removed. When the copy is complete, only one drive can remain
