Identifying 2104s and Disk Drive Modules

AIX

When running AIX, you can identify an Expandable Storage Plus 2104 Model DU3
and the disk drive modules installed in it either by the location code contained in
system messages that refer to that unit, or by using the SCSI Device Identification
and Removal service aid.

See “Location Codes” in the operator guide for your system for general information
about location codes.

Linux

When running Linux, you can identify an Expandable Storage Plus 2104 Model DU3
and the disk drive modules installed in it by using the “List Configuration” command.
Consult your Linux operating system documentation for information in how to use
this command.

Note: Refer to the 2104 Interoperability Matrix link located at

http://www.storage.ibm.com/disk/expplus/supserver.htm to learn which
versions of AIX or Linux are supported for the Expandable Storage Plus
family of products.

Configuring a 2104 to the using system

AIX

When running AIX, use the cfgmgr command to configure or reconfigure a 2104 to
the using system.

Note: This command might not be valid for your RAID adapter.

Linux

Refer to the 2104 Interoperability Matrix link located at
http://www.storage.ibm.com/disk/expplus/supserver.htm to learn which versions of
AIX or Linux are supported for the Expandable Storage Plus family of products.
