Viewing the Disk Array General Configuration Settings
Checking the general configuration settings allows you to view the current settings for all the disk array
operating parameters. The settings include the current status of the array, the array configuration, and the
SCSI configuration settings.
A description of each setting is included in Table 9. The default settings have been selected to optimize disk
array operation on HP-UX.
NOTE!
Before changing any setting, you should understand what the setting does, and
what effect changing it will have on disk array operation. Be aware that using an
incorrect setting may make it impossible for the host and the disk array to
communicate properly.
To view the general configuration settings, type:
arraydsp -s <array-id
