5–42CLI Commands

CLEAR_ERRORS unit-number

UNWRITEABLE_DATA

Clears an unwriteable data error on a unit.

It affects all partitions on the same container.

If a storageset or disk drive fails before its data has been written to it, the controller reports an unwriteable data error. The CLEAR_ERRORS UNWRITEABLE_DATA command removes the data from the cache and clears the unwriteable data error.

CAUTION: This command causes data loss.

Syntax

CLEAR_ERRORS unit-numberUNWRITEABLE_DATA

Spell out UNWRITEABLE_DATA when using this command.

Parameters

unit-number

Identifies the unit having the unwriteable data error. The unit-numberis the name given to the unit when it was created with the ADD UNIT command.

Example

This example shows how to clear the unwriteable data error on disk unit D103:

CLEAR_ERRORS D103 UNWRITEABLE_DATA
