admitpd DESCRIPTION The admitpd command creates and admits physical disk definitions to enable the use of those disks. AUTHORITY • Super, Service • Any role granted the pd_admit right. NOTE: You need access to all domains in order to run this command. SYNTAX admitpd [option] [...] OPTIONS -nold Do not use the physical disk (as identified by the WWN specifier) for logical disk allocation. See "NOTES" for more information about the -nold option. -f Do not prompt for confirmation when attempting to admit disks from other systems. SPECIFIERS [...] Indicates the World-Wide Name (WWN) of the physical disk to be admitted. If WWNs are specified, only the specified physical disk(s) are admitted. Otherwise, all available physical disks are admitted. RESTRICTIONS • Access to all domains is required to run this command. • If multiple WWNs are specified and not all can be admitted, the admitpd command fails. EXAMPLES The following example admits physical disks in a 20-disk system: cli% admitpd 20 disks admitted NOTES • Physical disks cannot be used by the HP 3PAR operating system for storage until they are admitted into the system. • Specify the -nold option when adding a physical disk to replace a failed disk, whose chunklets were moved to spare space. Specifying -nold prevents the allocation of the newly added physical disk and allows chunklets to be moved back to the new disk. After chunklets have been moved back to the new disk, the administrator can allow logical disks to be allocated again by issuing the setpd command. 46 Admit Commands
