Complete this task to view the status of all arrays that are associated
with a storage unit using DS CLI commands.
The steps in this task presume that you have already created your
arrays from the array sites.
The creation of arrays is based on the array sites that are associated
with the storage unit. After you have created your arrays, there might be
times when you want to view the status of the array sites and the associated
arrays.
Perform the following steps to view the status of all the array
sites and arrays that are associated with the storage unit.
- Issue the lsarraysite command to generate a list of all
the array sites and their status. Enter the lsarraysite command at
the dscli command prompt with the following parameters and variables:
dscli>lsarraysite -dev storage_image_ID -l
The
state column of the report might be of interest as it specifies the following
state of the array site and conditions that require attention:
- Assigned - The array site has been defined as an array.
- Unassigned - The array site is available to be defined as an array.
- Unavailable - Specifies
that the designated array site is unassigned and at least one disk is not
in the normal state. Also, the array site is not in the initializing state.
- Initializing - Specifies
that the array site is unassigned and all disks are either in the normal or
initializing state. Also, at least one disk is in the initializing state.
- Issue the lsarray command to generate a list of all the
arrays and their status. Enter the lsarray command at the dscli command
prompt with the following parameters and variables:
dscli>lsarray -dev storage_image_ID -l
Note: You
might want to analyze the state and data column information for the arrays.
Some of the reported conditions require further action. See the lsarray command
for additional information.
