Considerations for RESET DISK

•

The RESET command is ignored if the process is started.

•

If the disk is in the STARTING state, substate REVIVE, the disk process is

suspended in that state until either another START command restarts the revive

operation or a STOP command terminates the revive operation.

Resetting One Magnetic Disk

1. Check the current status of the disk:

-> STATUS $DISK00-*

2. If any disk paths are in one of these states:

•

SERVICING state, SPECIAL substate

•

SERVICING state, TEST substate

•

STOPPED state, HARDDOWN substate

Put those paths into a STOPPED state, substate DOWN:

-> RESET $DISK00

Paths that are in the STARTED state are unaffected by the RESET command.

3. To prevent a specified disk path from starting:

-> ABORT DISK $disk{-P |-B |-M | -MB }

4. Start the disk:

-> START $DISK00

5. Confirm that the disk has started:

-> STATUS $DISK00
