Logical drive status values:

Okay (OKY)

Volume is Active and drives are functioning properly and user data is

 

protected if the current RAID level provides data protection.

Degraded (DGD)

Volume is Active and the user's data is not fully protected due to a

 

configuration change or drive failure; a data resync or rebuild may be in

 

progress.

Inactive (OKY)

Volume is inactive and drives are functioning properly and user data is

 

protected if the current RAID level provides data protection.

Inactive (DGD)

Volume is inactive and the user's data is not fully protected due to a

 

configuration change or drive failure; a data resync or rebuild may be in

 

progress.

Physical device status values are as follows:

Online (ONL)

The drive is operational and is part of a logical drive.

Hot Spare (HSP)

The drive is a hot spare that is available for replacing a failed drive in

 

an array.

Ready (RDY)

The drive is ready for use as a normal disk drive or it can be, but has

 

not been, assigned to a disk array or hot spare pool.

Available (AVL)

The hard disk drive may or may not be ready, and it is not suitable for

 

inclusion in an array or hot spare pool (for example, it is not spun up,

 

its block size is incorrect, or its media is removable).

Failed (FLD)

Drive was part of a logical drive or was a hot spare drive, and it failed.

 

It has been taken offline.

Standby (SBY)

This status is used to tag all non-hard disk devices.

FORMAT

The FORMAT command performs a low-level format of a disk drive. This operation can only be performed on a hard disk drive. The drive cannot be an IR volume or a hot spare drive.

Syntax

cfggen <controller #> format <Encl:Bay> [noprompt]

Parameters

 

<controller #>

A SAS controller number between 0 and 255.

<Encl:Bay>

Enclosure number and Bay number that identifying the disk drive that

 

will be formatted.

[noprompt]

Eliminates warnings and prompts.

CAUTION: Performing a low-level format on a hard disk drive results in the destruction of all data stored on that disk drive. The operation cannot and should not be interrupted; doing so may result in irreparable damage to the hard disk drive.

Operation

Unless you include <no prompt> on the command line, warning messages display. You are required to properly answer a series of prompts or the command aborts. The answers are case sensitive and must be entered in upper case.

This command will not complete and return to a shell prompt until the format operation is complete. Depending on the capacity and model of disk drive, this can take a considerable amount of time.

INTEGRITY RX3600 specifications

The HP Integrity RX3600 is a high-performance server designed to address the demanding needs of enterprises that require robust computing capabilities, reliability, and scalability. Part of the HP Integrity server family, the RX3600 is built on the Itanium architecture, which is known for its exceptional processing power and advanced features that support mission-critical applications.

One of the main features of the RX3600 is its capability to handle multiple workloads with ease. The server supports up to 64 GB of RAM, allowing for efficient multitasking and enhanced performance in data-intensive environments. Its modular design also enables organizations to scale up their systems by adding additional memory or processors as needed, making it a flexible choice for growing businesses.

The RX3600 is equipped with HP's Integrity Virtual Machines (VMs), which provide virtualization capabilities that allow businesses to run multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server. This not only maximizes resource utilization but also simplifies management by reducing the number of physical servers required in the data center.

Another significant characteristic of the RX3600 is its advanced reliability features. The server is designed with fault-tolerant components, including redundant power supplies and cooling systems. This ensures that the server remains operational even in the event of hardware failures. Additionally, HP's Error Correction Code (ECC) memory helps detect and correct data corruption, further enhancing the system's reliability.

For security, the HP Integrity RX3600 includes built-in features such as Secure Boot, which ensures that the server boots using only trusted firmware and software. This protects against unauthorized changes and vulnerabilities that could compromise data integrity.

In terms of connectivity, the RX3600 offers multiple I/O options, including advanced networking capabilities that support high-speed data transfer and improved bandwidth. This is critical for organizations that rely on data-intensive applications and need to maintain seamless connectivity.

Furthermore, the server supports a range of operating systems, including HP-UX and Linux, making it adaptable to various enterprise environments. Its robust performance, reliability, and scalability make the HP Integrity RX3600 an ideal choice for businesses looking to optimize their IT infrastructure and support their critical workloads with confidence.
