Abort Primary Path
Terminates operation of the primary path to the disk. When the Abort action finishes, the path is in a
Hard Down state. You must use the Reset Primary Path action before you can start the path again.
Clear Data
Erases all data on the disk but leaves the disk label intact. Clear Data does not erase the FIR data in
the CE sector, the volume label, the boot sector, or the spare tracks table. After a Clear Data
completes or is cancelled, the disk drive is not usable until you restore the file system by using the
SCF command Alter Label.
Firmware Update
Updates firmware for the selected disk.
Caution: Perform this action only when instructed to by service provider, Support Note, or
other notification.
To update disk firmware:
Locate and transfer the appropriate firmware source file to your server. Disk firmware versions
vary by manufacturer and model number. The correct version for one disk drive may not work
for others.
1.
Log on to the OSM Service Connection and use the Actions dialog box (to update one disk at a
time) or the Multi-Resource Actions dialog box (to update multiple disks of the same type
simultaneously).
2.
Stop the disk or disks that you want to update.3.
Perform the Firmware Update action.4.
Click OK to the Confirm Firmware Update dialog box. This displays the Parameter Input.
Note: Contrary to the generic dialog text, for disk firmware you must specify the
firmware source file path (established in Step 1). Because disk firmware versions
vary, OSM does not use a default file name. If you do not specify a valid file path,
the action fails.
5.
Enter the firmware source file path (established in Step 1) and click OK.6.
Restart the disk or disks.7.
Power Off
Removes power to the disk drive.
Power On
Restores power to the disk drive.
