Enabling Automatic Disk Configuration
The storage subsystem looks for a custom profile (page 6-9) for the enclosure. If
no custom profile exists, the storage subsystem uses the default profile (page 5-11)
to configure the disk.
To make internal disk configuration plug and play, enable these attributes:
-> ALTER $ZZSTO, AUTOCONFIG ON, AUTOREVIVE ON, AUTOSTART ON
3. After configuring the disk, the storage subsystem checks the disk label:
•
If the disk is not labeled and AUTOLABEL (page 14-13) for $ZZSTO is ON, it
labels the disk.
•
If the disk is not labeled and AUTOLABEL (page 14-13) for $ZZSTO is OFF,
see Naming a Magnetic Disk on page 6-26.
4. If AUTOSTART (page 14-14) for $ZZSTO and the disk is ON, it starts the disk
process. If AUTOSTART is OFF for either $ZZSTO or the disk, see Starting a
Magnetic Disk on page 7-3.
5. If the disk is mirrored and all of these statements are true, a revive is started from
the already installed disk to the just inserted disk:
•
AUTOREVIVE (page 14-13) for $ZZSTO is ON.
•
The slot is already configured as the mirror of an installed disk.
•
Both disks are physically present.
