How to Check the Status of SPARCstorage Array Disks (DiskSuite Tool)

Use this task to view the status of SPARCstorage Array disks (spun up or down).

1. Make sure you have met the prerequisites ("Prerequisites for Managing the System") and have read the preliminary information ("Preliminary Information for Working Graphically with the SPARCstorage Array").

2. Click Disk View to display the Disk View window.

3. Look at the canvas. A disk that is spun down appears with a down arrow icon beneath the disk.

   If necessary, display the desired controllers that contain the disks by selecting them from the Controllers window.

   Note -

   You can use DiskSuite Tool to spin down non-SPARCstorage Array disks. However, the Disk View window shows a spun up or spun down status only for SPARCstorage Array disks. Also, any I/O performed on a non-SPARCstorage Array disk that is spun down automatically spins up the disk.
