HP Surestore Disk Array 12h System Administrator's Guide for HP-UX, MPE, and W - Page 19

HP-UX Chapter 2. Using the HP-UX System Administration Manager Most disk array management can be done using the HP-UX System Administration Manager, or SAM. Using SAM you can: • Check disk array status • Change configuration settings • Manage the disk array LUNs • Add a disk to the array configuration • Set the rebuild priority You must login as superuser or root to use SAM or the disk array utilities. LUNs and Logical Drives. To maintain consistency with HP-UX terminology, the term LUN is used to refer to a disk array logical drive. The two terms are used interchangeably and refer to the same logical entity on the disk array. NOTE! Before SAM can be used to manage the HP SureStore E Disk Array 12H, the AutoRAID Manager (ARM) utility software must be installed as described in "Installing the Disk Array Management Software". To run the SAM disk array management utilities: 1. Run SAM by typing sam at the system prompt. 2. On the main SAM screen, select "Disks and File Systems." 3. On the "Disks and File Systems" screen, select "Disk Devices." A list of disk devices including arrays will be displayed. You are now ready to work with the disk array. The remaining procedures in this chapter assume that you have already performed these steps. 19
