Selecting a Disk Array to Manage

When using the ARM utilities, the <array-id> field is used to identify the disk array. The <array-
id> field contains the disk array serial number.
For example, assume a disk array has a serial number of 00786B5C0000. To check the available
unallocated capacity on this particular disk array, you would use the following command:
arraydsp -V 00786B5C0000
The serial number of all arrays connected to the host can be obtained using the command:
arraydsp -i
For more information see "Displaying Disk Array Serial
Many commands affect the operation of the entire disk array. Commands that involve only a specific logical
drive on the array will include an option (-L LUN) for identifying the logical drive involved. For example,
to format logical drive 3 on a disk array with serial number 00786B5C0000, use the following command:
arrayfmt -L 3 00786B5C0000
