SERVICING state, substate SPECIAL, type:

START DISK Considerations
Before using the START DISK command, consider the following:
• Use the SPECIAL attribute to ensure that only privileged processes can
access the disk. The entire primary (P) or mirror (M) path must be
designated; just the backup (B) or the mirror backup (MB) path
designations can not be designated with the SPECIAL attribute.
• To bring a disk out of the SERVICING state, issue the SCF RESET
DISK command followed by the START DISK command (without the
SPECIAL attribute).
• Use the SCF RESET DISK command followed by the START DISK
command to bring up a disk path that is in any of the following states:
♦ STOPPED state, substate HARDDOWN
♦ SERVICING state, substate TEST
♦ SERVICING state, substate SPECIAL
• Use the SCF STATUS DISK command to verify that a disk has been
started.
• When a system is loaded from tape or the SCF START DISK
command is used on a volume, SCF uses the default volume name to
bring up the disk unless this name is being used by some other device or
process. If the default volume name is in use, then the storage
subsystem automatically uses the alternate volume name.
