Calculations:

(1a) Enter /cms line’s ‘kbytes’ figure divided by 1000 (move decimal three places left):

(1b) Enter “/cms Size” (above left) corresponding to the number of hard disks and disk size:

(1a)

(1b)

3.Compare the figures in (1a) and (1b). They should be approximately equal. The two will not correspond exactly, but they should be within about 10% of the /cms size figure. A major discrepancy between the disk space you should have and the space recognized by the software usually indicates a connectivity problem. You can check connectivity by checking the output of a metastat command to see that all the disks are recognized. For example:

# metastat

If the stripes of d19 and d20 do not account for all the disk drives on your system, check your disk drive connections. If discrepancies persist, telephone the Lucent National Customer Care Center at 1.800.242.2121, or contact your Lucent representative or distributor.
