	storage array name in double quotation marks (" ").
remoteStorageArrayNameWwid	The World Wide Identifier (WWID) of the storage

Reset Physical Disk

This command power cycles a physical disk in a disk group or a disk pool to aid in the recovery of a physical disk that is exhibiting inconsistent or non-optimal behavior.

By power cycling a physical disk, some errors that cause inconsistent or non-optimal behavior can be cleared. This avoids replacing a physical disk when it is experiencing only a transient, non-fatal error, and the physical disk can remain operational. Resetting a physical disk in this way reduces disruptions and avoids replacing a physical disk.

If the problem cannot be corrected by power cycling the physical disk, the data is copied from the physical disk and the physical disk is powered down for replacement.

Syntax

reset physicalDisk([enclosureID,drawerID,slotID] <"wwID">)

Parameters

Parameter	Description
physicalDisk	The location of the physical disk that you want to replace. For high-
	capacity expansion enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value, the drawer
	ID value, and the slot ID value of the physical disk that you want to revive.
	For low-capacity expansion enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value and
	the slot ID value of the physical disk that you want to revive. Enclosure ID
	values are 0 to 99. Drawer ID values are 0 to 4. Slot ID values are 0 to 31.
	Enclose the enclosure ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID value in
	square brackets ([ ]).
physicalDisk	The World Wide Identifier (WWID) of the physical disk that you want to
	replace. Enclose the WWID in double quotation marks (" ") inside angle
	brackets (< >).
