Syntax diskstate Description This command displays the state of the selected controller and the state of the disk drives located in the main enclosure. The storage type (Map/User column) indicates if the disk is used for user data storage (US), meta data storage (MS) (Map Disk), or both.
- Page 14 DOWNLOAD Downloads firmware to the array controller or the disk drive. Syntax download Description This command transfers the image contained in the selected firmware file to either the array controller or internal disk. The fru command selects which device is issued the download. This command warns you if the firmware file is not compatible with the selected array.
- Page 15 ENCLOSURE Sets the enclosure ID. Syntax enclosure [enclosure ID] Description This command sets the ENCLOSURE variable which is used to access JBOD LCCs and disks. The ENCLOSURE variable along with the LOOPPAIR and SLOT variables identify the component of interest. The ENCLOSURE variable should always be set to a value of 0.

- Page 17 Selects components for testing. Syntax fru [fru] Description This command selects a component (for example, disk or controller) for testing. For the selected component, it sets the correct values for the LOOPPAIR, ENCLOSURE, SLOT, and TESTDEVICE variables. You can manually set these variables, but it is much easier and less error prone to use the fru command.
- Page 18 INQUIRY Returns SCSI Inquiry data (all pages). Syntax inquiry Description This command returns SCSI Inquiry data on the selected FRU. You can select a controller, a disk, or a JBOD LCC with the testdevice or fru command. Example To issue an inquiry command to drive 2 in the main enclosure: VADIAG>...
- Page 19 LCCINFO Displays information about the JBOD LCCs connected to the array. Syntax lccinfo Description This command displays information about the JBOD LCCs connected to the array. The EID column shows the enclosure ID. A value of 0xFF in the Slot column indicates that the lccinfo command could not determine the LCC’s slot location.
- Page 20 LOOPPAIR Sets the controller loop pair. Syntax looppair [loop pair] Description This command sets the LOOPPAIR variable which is used to access JBOD LCCs and disks. The LOOPPAIR variable along with the ENCLOSURE and SLOT variables identify the component of interest.

- Page 23 RECOVER Reconstructs data mapping and array configuration. Syntax recover Description This command instructs the target to attempt to reconstruct data mapping and array configuration information from the physical drives after the loss of NVRAM contents. The recover operation also performs a parity scan to correct any drive parity inconsistencies. This command is typically used when the subsystem is in the No Map state.
- Page 24 REQSENSE Returns SCSI Sense data. Syntax reqsense Description This command returns SCSI Sense data on the selected FRU. You can select a controller, a disk, or a JBOD LCC with the testdevice or fru command. Example To issue a reqsense command to controller 0: VADIAG>...

- Page 26 ROMT Performs a read test. Syntax romt Description This command performs a read-only test on the selected disk. It is designed to test only internal disks and not the array itself. Use either the enclosure, looppair, and slot commands or the fru command to select the disk for testing.
- Page 27 SETOPTIONS View and modify SCSI Mode parameters. Syntax setoptions Description This command returns SCSI mode sense parameters on the selected array and enables you to modify changeable parameters. Example VADIAG> setoptions Parameter information for ArrayIndex 0 Subsystem Parameter Value Subsystem Parameter Value ------------------------------- ------- -------------------------------- -------...

- Page 29 SHUTDOWN Puts the array into the shutdown state. Syntax shutdown Description This command requests that the array stop normal I/O operation and save all map information to physical drive storage. Example VADIAG> shutdown SHUTDOWN...
- Page 30 SLOT Sets the disk slot. Syntax slot [slot] Description This command sets the SLOT variable which is used to access the main enclosure disks. The SLOT variable along with the LOOPPAIR and ENCLOSURE variables identify the component of interest. It might be easier to use the fru command to identify the component because it automatically sets the LOOPPAIR, ENCLOSURE, and SLOT variables.
- Page 31 TESTDEVICE Selects devices for testing. Syntax testdevice [controller | disk | lcc] Description This command selects either the controller, disk, or JBOD LCC as the device to test and where the command can be executed by any one of the devices. If only the controller can execute the command, then the TESTDEVICE variable will not have any meaning because the command will still go to the controller even if TESTDEVICE is set to the disk.
- Page 32 UNSETVARS Unsets all environment variables. Syntax unsetvars Description This command lets you unset (or clear) the following environment variables: TESTDEVICE, LOOPPAIR, ENCLOSURE, SLOT, RANGE, and FRU. The variables are changed to a NOT SET condition. Example VADIAG> unsetvars ArrayIndex: TestDevice: NOT SET LoopPair: NOT SET...
- Page 33 UTILINFO Utility Information. Syntax utilinfo Description This command describes how to run VADIAG in some scenarios. Example VADIAG> utilinfo UTILINFO...
- Page 34 WRTMT Performs a write/read test. Syntax wrtmt Description This command performs a write-then-read test on the selected disk. It is designed to test only internal disks and not the array itself. Use either the enclosure, looppair, and slot commands or the fru command to select the disk for testing.
