Disk Drive Errors and Failure Recovery
Disk Drive Start Failure Recovery
If a disk drive does not start, the problem could be related to the SCF object state of the disk
drive. If the disk drive is in one of the following SCF object states, use the SCF RESET DISK
command before you try to use the disk drive:
STOPPED state, HARDDOWN substate ●
SERVICING state, TEST substate ●
SERVICING state, SPECIAL substate ●
The SCF RESET DISK command leaves the disk drive in the STOPPED state, DOWN
substate. From this state, the disk drive can be started.
