Storage Automatic Configuration Does Not Work
Storage Automatic Configuration Does Not Work
The AUTOCONFIG option of the SCF ALTER command does not automatically
configure all internal disk drives in an enclosure.
An AUTOCONFIG command failure has three possible causes, each with its own
recovery procedure.
Cause and Recovery
System Discovery Does Not Show All CRUs or Enclosures
When you click System Discovery in the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link, a CRU (in the
block) or enclosure (in the system) is not visible.
See Added Enclosure Is Not Recognized by the Target System on page 7-4.
Note. If AUTOCONFIG fails for any reason, you must configure all disk drives in the
enclosure manually with the SCF ADD DISK command. The recovery actions and procedures
given here do not eliminate the need to perform this manual configuration. Instead, these
procedures are intended to prevent the problem from happening again in the future.
Cause Recovery
1. A failure occurred
during disk
configuration
For more information about the failure, see the EMS event
messages generated by your system.
Configure all internal disk drives in the enclosure manually with
the SCF ADD DISK command.
2. The storage
subsystem
manager process
has the Storage
Automatic
Configuration
feature
(AUTOCONFIG)
set to OFF.
1. Verify this state and set AUTOCONFIG to ON by performing
Step 3.2 Check Storage Automatic Configuration and
Autostart on page 6-9.
This setting takes effect during the next attempt at
configuration.
2. Configure all internal disk drives in this enclosure manually
with the SCF ADD DISK command.
