Managing Disks in a C-series Platform
Disable the disk.
user@host> request disk disable device 0 | 1
Remove the disk from the system.
Insert a new disk.
Enable the disk.
user@host> request disk enable device 0 | 1
Initialize the new disk.
user@host> request disk initialize device 0 | 1
The command generates data on the disk that enables the disk controller to
manage the disk. The disk controller copies data from the other disk and
establishes mirroring between the two disks.
Verify that the disk is initialized.
