A.4 Component Status
The ftsmaint ls command lists the components in the system and identifies any components that have been removed from service.
The list serves as a simple troubleshooting tool to verify that all the components are present and shows their status (in/out of service). Refer
to PA-8500 Continuum Series 400 Technical Service Guide (HP-UX systems), Section 2.6.3 to view a sample ftsmaint ls output
screen.
A.4.1 Software State Information
The system creates a node for each hardware device that is either installed or listed in the /stand/ioconfig file.
The State field in the ftsmaint ls display can show a hardware component to be in any one of the software states shown in the
following table.
State
Meaning
UNCLAIMED
Initialization state, or hardware exists, and no software is associated with the node.
CLAIMED
The driver recognizes the device.
ERROR
The device is recognized, but it is in an error state.
NO_HW
The device at this hardware path is no longer responding.
SCAN
Transitional state that indicates the device is locked. A device is temporarily put in
the
SCAN state when it is being scanned by the ioscan or ftsmaint utilities.
The software state of a hardware component can change. For example, a component is initially created in the UNCLAIMED state when it is
detected at boot time. The component moves to the CLAIMED state when it is recognized and claimed by the appropriate driver. The
transitions between the various software states are controlled by the ioscan and ftsmaint utilities.
