Checking Disk Array Status
One of the most important management tasks is monitoring the status, operation, and configuration of the
disk array. It is important to know how well the disk array is operating and if any problems or failures have
occurred. Using the ARM
arraydsp
command, you can easily check all aspects of disk array operation
and configuration. The
arraydsp
command options, summarized in
Table 16
, allow you to display
information about each disk array hardware component, as well as information about the logical
configuration of the disk array.
