SCF Reference Manual for the Storage Subsystem (G06.28+, H06.05+, J06.03+)

Chapter 3: Using the Storage Subsystem Manager
Describes the storage subsystem manager ($ZZSTO) in detail. It describes how to display
information about it and make changes to its configuration.
Chapter 4: Configuring and Managing the SMF Master Process
Describes the SMF master process ($ZSMS) in detail. It describes how to display information
about the process, and how to add, alter, and delete a master process. It also describes how
to start, stop, reset, and switch a master process.
Chapter 5: Displaying Information About Disk Drives
Describes how to display information about disks: configuration, disk cache information, disk
cache statistics, and error and status information.
Chapter 6: Configuring Disks
Describes how to configure disks. It describes the types of disk configurations, how to automate
disk configuration, configuring disks to start automatically, and configuring disk profiles. It also
describes how to add, name, relabel, and initialize disks, and how to change their attributes.
Finally, it describes how to delete disks.
Chapter 7: Managing Disks
Describes detailed procedures for managing disks: starting and reviving disks, stopping and
resetting disks and groups of disks, sparing sectors, correcting doubly allocated file extents,
replacing the bootstrap program, enabling and disabling file extents, swapping processors,
and changing the active path for a disk.
Chapter 8: Disk Load Balancing
Describes ways to distribute the disk work load across all fabrics and processors in the system
and how to maintain the load balance. It contains guidelines for current and past RVUs.
Chapter 9: Configuring and Managing Storage Pools for Disks
Describes how to configure and manage a storage pool, a collection of disks that are managed
by the Storage Management Foundation (SMF). It describes how to display information about
storage pools, how to configure them, and how to manage a storage pool by starting, stopping,
and resetting the pool. It also contains information about adding disk drives.
Chapter 10: Configuring and Managing Virtual Disks
Describes how to configure and manage virtual disks, which are created by configuring one
or more disks in a storage pool. It describes how to display information about virtual disks,
how to configure them, and how to manage them by stopping and starting virtual disks.
Chapter 11: Configuring and Managing ServerNet Storage Adapters
Describes how to configure and manage ServerNet storage adapters. It describes how to
display information about them and configure them, and how to manage them by
troubleshooting installations, downloading new firmware, and displaying and testing
connections.
Chapter 12: Configuring and Managing Open SCSI Devices
Describes how to configure and manage devices that obey the ANSI standard protocol for the
small computer system interface (SCSI) to communicate with the system through the Open SCSI
I/O process. It describes how to display information about them and configure them, and how
to manage them by starting, altering, resetting, and stopping them, as well as changing their
active paths, swapping their processors, and deleting them.
Chapter 13: Configuring and Managing Tape Drives
Describes how to configure and manage tape drives. It describes how to display information
about them and configure them, and how to manage them by enabling or displaying processing,
and resetting, starting, and stopping them.
