STATUS

The STATUS command displays the status of any volume synchronization operation that is currently in progress on the controller.

Syntax

cfggen <controller #> status

Parameters

<controller #>

A SAS controller number between 0 and 255.

Operation

If no volume synchronization is in progress, CFGIR prints a message so indicating before exiting. The STATUS command adds the Inactive flag to the Volume State field, if the volume is marked as inactive by the controller firmware.

Sample Output

The following is an example of the status information returned when a volume resynchronization is in progress.

Background command progress status for controller 0...

IR Volume 1

 

Current operation

: None

Volume ID

: 2

Volume status

: Enabled

Volume state

: Optimal

Physical disk I/Os

: Not quiesced

The status fields in the data displayed can take on the following values:

Current operation

Synchronize or None

Volume status

Enabled or Disabled

Volume state

Inactive] Optimal, Degraded or Failed

Physical disk I/Os

Quiesced or Not quiesced

ENABLEIR

The ENABLEIR command turns on IR functionality on a SAS controller. To accomplish the enabling, clear the MPI_IOUNITPAGE1_DISABLE_IR bit in the IO Unit 1 MPT Configuration page.

Syntax

cfggen <controller #> enableir

Parameters

<controller #>

A SAS controller number between 0 and 255.

Operation

If there are any existing IR volumes when this command is run you are notified with an output message, no action is taken and CFGGEN returns SUCCESS. If IR is currently enabled when this command is run, CFGGEN returns SUCCESS.

Faulty controller or peripheral hardware (such as., cables, disk drives, and so on.) will not cause this utility to hang. It exits with the appropriate return value. If an operation fails, a reasonable attempt is made to recover the operation. This may include clearing the fault condition by whatever means necessary and retrying the operation.
