Step 19 You are here because the host system is an RS/6000 or pSeries host system. This step verifies that the 7212 Storage Enclosure has been properly configured to the host system. Check the configuration of the 7212 Storage Enclosure to the host system software by doing the following: 1.
Step 20 This step runs the AIX diagnostics to determine the problem or to verify a fix. 1. Press the power switch to turn on the power. 2. Press the load/unload button to eject any media currently loaded in the devices.
Step 22 (AS/400 or iSeries Only) This step verifies whether the installed devices can communicate with the AS/400 or iSeries host system. 1. At the command line on any AS/400 or iSeries menu, type strsst then press Enter. 2. At the System Service Tools (SST) screen, type 1 (Start a service tool), then press Enter.
Cleaning the devices corrected the problem. Step 24 This step verifies that the installed devices can read from and write to the media properly. 1. At the command line on any AS/400 or iSeries menu, type vfytap then press Enter. 2.
