Using the ARM Command Line Utilities for Windows NT Checking Disk Array Status This command creates logical drive 0 with a capacity of 1000 Mbytes on the array identified by serial number 00786B5C0000. This step makes disk array capacity available to your operating system, and it must be repeated for each logical drive to be created. Make sure you observe any operating system limitations on logical drive size or number. For more information, see "Creating a Logical Drive" in this chapter. 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 27, allow you to display information about each disk array hardware component, as well as information about the logical configuration of the disk array. Table 27. arraydsp Options for Displaying Disk Array Status Option none -l [LUN] -a -c -d -h -i -m -R -r -S -s -v Status Information Displayed General information about the disk array Information for the specified LUN All information displayed for options -l, -d, -c, -s, -v, and -h Array controller status Disk status Hardware status Serial numbers for all disk arrays Display performance metrics Rescan Make performance recommendations Generate raw output, used in combination with other options General configuration information.
