disk remove dead_partitions
To remove all dead partitions from a SCSI disk, use the disk
remove dead_partitions command. A dead partition is a
partition that is no longer used by any array.
Typically, you use this command only under specific circumstances.
For example, if you remove a disk from a redundant array and then
later add the disk to the controller, the partition on the reinserted
disk (which was previously part of the redundant array) is no longer
useful. In this case, you use this command and specify the disk that
was added to the controller again.
If a partition is dead, the ":" (colon) in the Partition Offset:Size
column (displayed with the array list command) changes to a
"!" (exclamation point).
Syntax
disk remove dead_partitions {scsi_device}
Parameters
{scsi_device}
Specifies the ID for the SCSI disk from which you want to
remove all dead partitions. A SCSI ID consists of a SCSI
channel number (for example, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.), device ID (0
through 15 inclusive), and device logical unit number (0
through 7 inclusive). See the scsi_device section on
page 3-7 for more information on how to specify the SCSI
device.
Examples
The following example removes all dead partitions that reside on a
SCSI disk device (SCSI channel number 0, device ID 2, and device
logical unit number 0):
AAC0>disk remove dead_partitions (0,02,0)
Executing: disk remove dead_partitions (CHANNEL=0,ID=2,LUN=0)
