Name

nocheckdev - Regular monitoring device exclusion command

Format

/usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/nocheckdev [ dsp | add device_pathname | del device_pathname ]

Function

Displays, registers, or deletes devices to which regular device access is suppressed due to the execution of preventive replacement monitoring and cleaning monitoring.

Option

The options are:

dsp

Displays the list of devices for which regular monitoring is surpressed.

add device_pathname

Registers a device as a device for which regular monitoring is to be surpressed.
In device_pathname, specify a logical device path name under /dev/rdsk or /dev/rmt.
Specify a device as the tape unit (/dev/rmt/subordinate-device), using only numerals (Example: /dev/rmt/0).

del device_pathname

Deletes a device that was set as a device for which regular monitoring is to be surpressed. The deleted device will be excluded from the devices for which regular monitoring is to be surpressed from the next time monitoring takes place.
In device_pathname, specify a logical device path name under /dev/rdsk or /dev/rmt.
Specify a device as the tape unit (/dev/rmt/subordinate-device), using only numerals (Example: /dev/rmt/0).

Example of use

A} The following shows the devices for which regular monitoring is to be surpressed.

# /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/nocheckdev dsp

/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s0

/dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0

/dev/rmt/5

• When there is no data for display:

  # /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/nocheckdev dsp

  No data.

B} The following shows an example case where a device is registered as a device for which regular monitoring is to be surpressed.

# /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/nocheckdev add /dev/rdsk/c0t4d0s0

The device ( /dev/rdsk/c0t4d0s0 ) was added.

• When the same device is already registered:

  # /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/nocheckdev add /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

  This device ( /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 ) has already been added.

• When the specified device does not exist:

  # /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/nocheckdev add /dev/rdsk/c0t7d0s0

  This device ( /dev/rdsk/c0t7d0s0 ) isn't mounted on this server.

  illegal argument

  usage : nocheckdev [ dsp | add "device_name" | del "device_name" ]
           dsp :

           dsp Deletion of setting.

           add : Deletion of setting.

           del : Deletion of setting.

• When the specified tape unit is not specified with only numerals:

  # /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/nocheckdev add /dev/rmt/0n

  This tape device ( /dev/rmt/0n ) is incorrect.

  illegal argument

  usage : nocheckdev [ dsp | add "device_name" | del "device_name" ]
           dsp :

           dsp Deletion of setting.

           add : Deletion of setting.

           del : Deletion of setting.

C} The following shows an example case where a device for which regular monitoring is to be surpressed is deleted.

# /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/nocheckdev del /dev/rdsk/c0t4d0s0

The device ( /dev/rdsk/c0t4d0s0 ) wad deleted.

• When the specified device is not registered as a device for which monitoring is to be surpressed:

  # /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/nocheckdev del /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

  This device ( /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 ) isn't added.

  illegal argument

  usage : nocheckdev [ dsp | add "device_name" | del "device_name" ]
           dsp :

           dsp Deletion of setting.

           add : Deletion of setting.

           del : Deletion of setting.

• When the specified tape unit is not a device specified using only numerals:

  # /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/nocheckdev del /dev/rmt/0n

  This tape device ( /dev/rmt/0n ) is incorrect.

  illegal argument

  usage : nocheckdev [ dsp | add "device_name" | del "device_name" ]
           dsp :
