Start or Stop a Task on a Disk or RAID Volume

The start task and stop task subcommands control the execution of maintenance tasks on a disk or RAID volume. For more information on available tasks and options, see Executing Tasks on a Disk or RAID Volume.

1. To start or stop a task on a disk or RAID volume, type:

   # raidconfig start task -t taskname [-d|-r]

   or

   # raidconfig stop task -t taskname [-d|-r]

   The following are command examples for the start task and stop task subcommands:

   • A RAID ID must be provided for the verify check (verify) and initialization task (init).

     • To start the verify task on a specified RAID volume, type:

       # raidconfig start task -t verify -r=raidvolume

       For example:

       # raidconfig start task -t verify -r=c0r1

     • To stop the init task on a specified RAID volume, type:

       # raidconfig stop task -t init -r=raidvolume

       For example:

       # raidconfig stop task -t init -r=c0r1

   • A disk must be provided for the rebuild and clear tasks.

     • To start the rebuild task on a specified disk, type:

       # raidconfig start task -t rebuild -d=disk

       For example:

       # raidconfig start task -t rebuild -d=c0d1

       Note:

       This can only be run on a disk that is part of a RAID volume.

     • To start the clear task on a specified disk, type:

       # raidconfig start task -t clear -d=disk

       For example:

       # raidconfig start task -t clear -d=c0d1

       Note:

       This can only be run on a disk that is not part of a RAID volume.

   • Source and destination disks must be provided for the copy task.

     To start the copy task from one disk to another, type:

     # raidconfig start -task -t copy --src-disk=source_disk --dst-disk=destination_disk

     For example:

     # raidconfig start -task -t copy --src-disk=c0d2 --dst-disk=c0d3

     Note:

     The source disk must be in a RAID volume. The destination disk cannot be in a RAID volume.
