Configuring Internal Magnetic Disks to Start
Automatically
The AUTOSTART attribute affects the start behavior of internal disks differently
depending on the object type specified:
•
AUTOSTART for the SUBSYS object type (page 14-88):
-> ALTER SUBSYS $ZZSTO, AUTOSTART ON
For the storage subsystem, the AUTOSTART attribute controls whether disks are
automatically started after disk insertion. AUTOSTART for the SUBSYS overrides
AUTOSTART for the PROFILE.
•
AUTOSTART for the DISK object type (page 14-54):
-> ALTER DISK $DISK1, AUTOSTART ON
For an individual disk, the AUTOSTART attribute controls whether a disk is
automatically started after system load, processor reload, or disk insertion.
These attributes interact as follows:
You might want to use this configuration scheme:
•
Configure your system to have disks start automatically (by setting AUTOSTART
ON for the subsystem).
•
Make exceptions where you want some disks to not start automatically (by setting
those disks to AUTOSTART OFF).
Note. HP does not recommend using AUTOSTART with M8xxx Fibre Channel disks.
