Because FileServ and VolServcomponents work interactively,
changes in the drive components or storage subsystem are
reflected in VolServ.
If a component is taken to either the offline or
maintenance state, FileServ does not attempt any processing
with that component.
When a component is taken to a maintenance state, the
maintenance port is enabled and the Ethernet communications
link is disabled; whereas, the offline state is only a
logical state within FileServ.
After maintenance has been completed, change the component
statebacktotheonline state for the component to be reused
by FileServ.
Using the fschstate command without any options generates
a report that shows all currently configured library components,
for example, drives, drive identifiers, and VolServ systems. The
report can be limited to a single component by specifying a
component alias.
Step 1. Run the fschstate command and specify the
component alias of any storage subsystem,
component or drive in the library system.
