Configuring a Disk Drive Module to the Using System
1. Use the cfgmgr command to configure all new devices.
2. The disk drive has been configured with new hdisk and pdisk numbers. You can
change these numbers. For example, if the disk drive module is a replacement
module, you might want to make its pdisk and hdisk numbers match those of the
original module.
If you want to change the numbers, go to step 3.
If you do not want to change the numbers, and you came to this section from a
step in a MAP, return to that step, and continue with the MAP. Otherwise, go no
further with these instructions.
3. Do steps 3a through 3h for each using system that is in the SSA loop on which
you are now working.
a. Run the Configuration Verification service aid (see the chapter about SSA
b. From the displayed list of pdisks and hdisks, find the serial number of the disk
c. The serial number is shown twice: next to the new pdisk number and next to
d. If the disk drive module that you are installing is a replacement for a module
e. Type smitty ssaraid and press Enter.
f. Select Change/Show Use of an SSA Physical Disk.
g. Select the pdisk from the list.
h. Change the Current Use parameter to Hot Spare Disk or to Array Candidate
4. You have now finished installing the disk drive module. Go no further with these
instructions. If you came to this section from a step in a MAP, return to that step,
and continue with the MAP.
5. Give the following command:
lsdev -Cl [hdisknumber] -Fconnwhere
where [hdisknumber] is the new hdisk number (for example, hdisk12).

Note: It is the user who should make the choice of Current Use parameter.
That choice should be:
v Hot Spare Disk if the use of hot spares is enabled for the RAID
arrays on the subsystem
v Array Candidate Disk if the use of hot spares is disabled for the
RAID arrays on the subsystem.
