Managing Disk Array Configuration Assigning an Alias to the Disk Array If you have many disk arrays to manage, you may find it useful to assign an alias name to each disk array to help you identify them. A short, meaningful alias should be easier to remember than the disk array ID when using the Array Manager 60 commands. The naming strategy you use may reflect the physical location of the disk array or its function. Once you have assigned an alias to the disk array, you can use the new name in the field used to identify the disk array when using a command. To assign an alias to the disk array, type: ammgr -D • ArrayAlias is the name you want to assign to the disk array. An alias can contain up to 16 of the following characters: letters, numbers, pound sign (#), period (.), and underscore (_). All other characters are invalid. Command Example The following example assigns an alias of rack_1 to disk array 0000005EBD20: ammgr -D rack_1 0000005EBD20 Synchronizing the Controller Date and Time During installation, the date and time maintained internally by the disk array should have been synchronized to the host. This ensures that any information created by the disk array such as log entries reflect the proper time they occurred. If necessary, the disk array date and time can be resynchronized with the host. To synchronize the controller date and time with the host, type: ammgr -t Managing the Disk Array Using Array Manager 60 297 Managing the Disk Array on HP-UX
