HP-UX Using the ARM Command Line Utilities for HP-UX Performing Disk Array Maintenance Tasks If the -D option is not specified, results will be displayed for all disks in the array that have been tested. Canceling a Disk Test If you do not want to wait for a disk test to complete, you can cancel it using the dteststat command and testing will stop immediately. To cancel a disk test in progress, type: dteststat -D slot -c Printing ARMServer Log Contents The contents of the various log files maintained by ARMServer can be printed using the logprint command. The contents of the logs may be useful in identifying any possible problems that may be occurring with the disk array. For a detailed explanation of the log contents output, see the logprint man page To print the contents of the ARMServer logs, type: logprint[-d log_directory_name] [-s start_time] [-e stop_time] [-t record_type...] [-a array_serial_number] log_directory_name identifies the location of the log files start_time and stop_time limit the output to events between the specified times record_type identifies the type of record(s) to print. Records include system usage log (usage), disk error log (disk), controller error log (ctrlr), system change log (change), and performance log (perf) array_serial_number limits the output to only those entries associated with the specified disk array. Displaying Hardware Logs In addition to the logs maintained by ARMServer, hardware logs are also stored on the disk array. The arraylog command provides access to the controller and disk logs maintained by the disk array. These logs contain information useful for diagnosing and troubleshooting the disk array. The logs can also be cleared using arraylog. The arraylog options for accessing the disk array hardware logs are listed in Table 6. 53

Using the ARM Command Line Utilities for HP-UX
Performing Disk Array Maintenance Tasks
53
HP-UX
If the
-D
option is not specified, results will be displayed for all disks in the array that have been tested.
Canceling a Disk Test
If you do not want to wait for a disk test to complete, you can cancel it using the
dteststat
command
and testing will stop immediately.
To cancel a disk test in progress, type:
dteststat -D slot
-c <array-id
>
Printing ARMServer Log Contents
The contents of the various log files maintained by ARMServer can be printed using the
logprint
command. The contents of the logs may be useful in identifying any possible problems that may be
occurring with the disk array.
For a detailed explanation of the log contents output, see the
logprint
man page
To print the contents of the ARMServer logs, type:
logprint[-d log_directory_name] [-s start_time] [-e stop_time]
[-t record_type...] [-a array_serial_number]
log_directory_name
identifies the location of the log files
start_time
and
stop_time
limit the output to events between the specified times
record_type
identifies the type of record(s) to print. Records include system usage log
(
usage
), disk error log (
disk
), controller error log (
ctrlr
), system change log (
change
), and
performance log (
perf
)
array_serial_number
limits the output to only those entries associated with the specified
disk array.
Displaying Hardware Logs
In addition to the logs maintained by ARMServer, hardware logs are also stored on the disk array. The
arraylog
command provides access to the controller and disk logs maintained by the disk array. These
logs contain information useful for diagnosing and troubleshooting the disk array. The logs can also be
cleared using
arraylog
. The arraylog options for accessing the disk array hardware logs are listed in
Table 6.
