Stopping Devices and Processes
HP NonStop S-Series System Expansion and Reduction Guide—522465-009
D-4
Stop Internal Disk Drives
3. Verify that the disk drives have been stopped by entering this SCF command for
each PMF CRU or IOMF CRU in each enclosure to be removed:
-> STATUS ADAPTER $ZZSTO.#device.group.module.slot, DETAIL
For example, for the IOMF CRU in slot 55 of I/O enclosure group 71:
-> STATUS ADAPTER $ZZSTO.#IOMF.GRP-71.MOD-1.SLOT-55, DETAIL
For the PMF CRU in slot 50 of processor enclosure group 07:
-> STATUS ADAPTER $ZZSTO.#PMF.GRP-7.MOD-1.SLOT-50, DETAIL
In this example, you see a display similar to:
In this example display, the status of the disk drives appears in boldface. $DATA01
and $DATA03 are mirrored disks. $DATA02 is nonmirrored. $DATA03 is listed as
