disk Commands disk remove dead_partitions To remove all dead partitions from a SCSI disk, use the disk remove dead_partitions command. A dead partition is a partition that is no longer used by any array. Typically, you use this command only under specific circumstances. For example, if you remove a disk from a redundant array and then later add the disk to the controller, the partition on the reinserted disk (which was previously part of the redundant array) is no longer useful. In this case, you use this command and specify the disk that was added to the controller again. If a partition is dead, the ":" (colon) in the Partition Offset:Size column (displayed with the array list command) changes to a "!" (exclamation point). Syntax disk remove dead_partitions {scsi_device} Parameters {scsi_device} Specifies the ID for the SCSI disk from which you want to remove all dead partitions. A SCSI ID consists of a SCSI channel number (for example, 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.), SCSI device ID (0 through 15 inclusive), and SCSI device logical unit number (0 through 7 inclusive). See the scsi_device section on page 3-7 for more information on how to specify the SCSI device. Examples The following example removes all dead partitions that reside on a SCSI disk device (SCSI channel number 0, SCSI device ID 2, and SCSI device logical unit number 0): AAC0>disk remove dead_partitions (0,02,0) Executing: disk remove dead_partitions (CHANNEL=0,ID=2,LUN=0) 7-9
