Dell Understanding omconfig and omreport Storage Commands for Effective Network Card Management

Example for SCSI, SATA, and ATA Controllers:

To initialize the physical disk described in this example, enter:

omconfig storage pdisk action=initialize controller=1 pdisk=0:3

Example for SAS Controllers:

To initialize the physical disk described in this example, enter:

omconfig storage pdisk action=initialize controller=1 pdisk=0:2:3

omconfig Offline Physical Disk

Use the following omconfig command syntax to offline a physical disk:

Complete Syntax

omconfig storage pdisk action=offline controller=id pdisk= connectorID:targetID

where id is the controller ID and connectorID:targetID is the connector number and physical disk number as reported by the omreport command. To obtain these values, enter omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then enter omreport storage pdisk controller=ID to display the IDs for the physical disks attached to the controller.

Example Syntax

For example, to offline physical disk 3 on connector 0 of controller 1, enter:

omconfig storage pdisk action=offline controller=1 pdisk=0:3

omconfig Offline Physical Disk

Use the following omconfig command syntax to offline a physical disk:

Complete Syntax

omconfig storage pdisk action=offline controller=id pdisk=<PDISKID>

where id is the controller ID. The <PDISK> variable specifies the physical disk.

To obtain these values, enter omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then enter omreport storage pdisk controller=ID to display the IDs for the physical disks attached to the controller.

Example Syntax

In this example, you want to offline physical disk 3 on connector 0 of controller 1. On a SAS controller, the physical disk resides in enclosure 2.
