The sautil <device_file> scan command
To instruct the Smart Array Controller to rescan all SCSI buses, use the sautil <device_file>
scan command. For example, when you hot-plug a physical disk into the system's internal drive
bay, run a scan.
The sautil <device_file> accept_media_xchg <logical_drive_number> command
You can use the sautil <device_file> accept_media_xchg <logical_drive_number>
command to instruct the Smart Array Controller to do the following:
1.
Set the state of the specified failed logical drive to OK.
2.
Set the states of failed physical disks that have been hot-plug-replaced to OK.
CAUTION:
settings. If more disks failed than the RAID level can accommodate, data on the failed logical drive
might be compromised. If data is compromised, you must restore the data from backup media.
In the following example, logical drive 0 accepts a media exchange.
# sautil /dev/ciss5 accept_media_xchg 0
