B.2.3.4 Mounting a disk that has been cold-swapped after unmounting by means other than GDS

After replacement with system operation stopped, you have to perform one of the following operations.

1. Use the resethardstat command to reset the disk status information retained by Machine Administration. As command argument for the resethardstat command, specify the sd driver instance name (sd46, for example).

   # /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/resethardstat <instance name>

2. Mount the disk.

   There are two types of mounting procedures, depending on whether SynfinityDisk/GSD or another volume management software product is used.

• When using SynfinityDisk/GDS

  You have to perform the operation for mounting disks in SynfinityDisk/GDS.
  Use the sdxswap command or GUI to mount disks in SynfinityDisk/GDS.

  • When using the command line
    Use the sdxswap command to mount disks in SynfinityDisk/GDS. For the sdxswap command arguments, specify the class name used by SynfinityDisk/GDS and the SDX disk name.

    # /usr/sbin/sdxswap -I -c <class name> -d <SDX disk name>

  • When using the GUI
    From the SynfinityDisk/GDS GUI menu, select "Restore Physical Disk" and mount the disk in SynfinityDisk/GDS.

  

• When using volume management software other than SynfinityDisk/GDS

  You have to perform an operation for mounting disks in the management scope of the volume management software used.

  For information on how to mount disks, refer to the manual for the relevant volume management software.
