Identifying a 2104 Model DS4 and the disk drive modules
You can identify a 2104 Model DS4 and the disk drive modules installed in it by
running either AIX or Linux.
Note: Refer to the 2104 Interoperability Matrix link located at the following Web site
AIX
When running AIX, you can identify an 2104 Model DS4 and the disk drive modules
installed in it either by the location code contained in system messages that refer to
that unit, or by using the SCSI Device Identification and Removal service aid.
For more information, see the section about location codes in the operator guide for
your system.
Linux
When running Linux, you can identify an 2104 Model DS4 and the disk drive
modules installed in it by using the List Configuration command. Consult your
Linux operating system documentation for information on how to use this command.
Configuring a 2104 Model DS4 to an AIX host system
Use the cfgmgr command to configure or reconfigure a 2104 Model DS4 to the
host system.
Note: This command might not be valid for your RAID adapter.
Unconfiguring a 2104 Model DS4 from an AIX host system
To remove a 2104 Model DS4 from the host system, use the following command:
rmdev -l [enclosurenumber] -d
