Troubleshooting

The sautil Command

Chapter 6

sautil <device_file> accept_media_xchg <logical_drive_number>

The sautil <device_file> accept_media_xchg <logical_drive_number> command instructs the

RAID160 SA controller to:

1. Set the state of the specified failed logical drive, <logical_drive_number>, to "OK"

2. Set the states of all failed physical disks that have been replaced via hot-plug exchanges to "OK"

WARNING This option preserves the RAID configuration, logical drive configurations, and

controller settings. If more disks failed than the RAID level is able to accommodate,

data on the failed logical drive may have been compromised. If data has been

compromised you will need to restore from backup media.

In the following example, logical drive “0” accepts a media exchange:

# sautil /dev/ciss6 accept_media_xchg 0
