Actions
Abort Backup Path
Terminates operation of the backup path to the disk. When the Abort action finishes, the path is
in a Hard Down state. You must use the Reset Backup Path action before you can start the path
again.
Abort Disk
Terminates operation of all paths for the disk. When the Abort action finishes, the paths are in a
Hard Down state. You must use the Reset Disk action before you can start the paths again.
Abort Primary Path
Terminates operation of the primary path to the disk. When the Abort action finishes, the path is
in a Hard Down state. You must use the Reset Primary Path action before you can start the path
again.
Clear Data
Erases all data on the disk but leaves the disk label intact. Clear Data does not erase the FIR data
in the CE sector, the volume label, the boot sector, or the spare tracks table. After a Clear Data
completes or is cancelled, the disk drive is not usable until you restore the file system by using the
SCF INITIALIZE DISK command.
The action prompts you to specify an optional process priority for the action. If not specified, the
current default priority is used.
Firmware Update
Updates firmware for the selected disk.
CAUTION:
Perform this action only when instructed to by service provider, Support Note, or
other notification.
To update disk firmware:
1.
Locate and transfer the appropriate firmware source file to your server. Disk firmware versions
vary by manufacturer and model number. The correct version for one disk drive might not
work for others.
2.
Log on to the OSM Service Connection and use the Actions dialog box (to update one disk
at a time) or the Multi-Resource Actions dialog box (to update multiple disks of the same type
simultaneously).
3.
Stop the disk or disks that you want to update.
4.
Perform the Firmware Update action.
5.
Click OK to the Confirm Firmware Update dialog box. This displays the Parameter Input.
