Resetting a Magnetic Disk
3. Confirm that the disk is in the STOPPED state, substate HARDDOWN:

Resetting a Magnetic Disk
The RESET DISK Command (page 14-126) puts a disk into the STOPPED state,
substate DOWN, ready for restarting.
•
Use the RESET command to prepare a device to be started if:
°
A disk is in the STOPPED state, substate HARDDOWN.
°
A hardware error has occurred.
°
You stopped the disk with an ABORT command.
°
The disk was stopped for service.
°
A STOP or ABORT command fails to put the device into the STOPPED state,
substate DOWN.
See Resetting One Magnetic Disk on page 7-12.
•
You can reset and start more than one disk at a time:
°
After installing or replacing a component like a disk, SEB, MSEB, PMF CRU,
IOMF CRU, or ServerNet/DA.
°
After repairing a fabric failure
When a fabric fails, the storage subsystem automatically switches the disk
paths, if possible, so that the disks remains operational.
After repairing a fabric failure, failed disk paths are not automatically restarted.
They remain HARDDOWN until you restart the disk process. The storage
subsystem never attempts to use the failed path, which creates a potential
single point of failure.
See Resetting a Group of Magnetic Disks on page 7-13.
