Hardware upgrade question
I have an IBM pseries 7028-6E1 server with a six drive bay that is currently plugged into the scsi backplane of the motherboard. I am going to install a PCIX Ultra320 scsi raid adapter, and swing the drive bay over to it. I am just wondering how this is going to work. Should I power the server down, install the adapter, swing the drive bay over to it, and power the server back up with the AIX install disk installed? The only issue I see with this is that the adapter almost would need to be recognized by the OS first, before I could load AIX, and configure the adapter. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Our ultimate goal is to set up raid 5 for the data volume group, and be able to boot from the adapter from the rootvg.

Hi everyone
I've just purchased a Sun T5120 server with 2 internal disks. I've configured hardware RAID (mirror) and as a result the device tree in Solaris only contains 1 hard drive.
My question is, how would I know when one of the drives become faulty?

dh_systemd_start
DH_SYSTEMD_START(1) Debhelper DH_SYSTEMD_START(1)
NAME
dh_systemd_start - start/stop/restart systemd unit files
SYNOPSIS
dh_systemd_start [debhelperoptions] [--restart-after-upgrade] [--no-stop-on-upgrade] [unitfile...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_systemd_start is a debhelper program that is responsible for starting/stopping or restarting systemd unit files in case no corresponding
sysv init script is available.
As with dh_installinit, the unit file is stopped before upgrades and started afterwards (unless --restart-after-upgrade is specified, in
which case it will only be restarted after the upgrade). This logic is not used when there is a corresponding SysV init script because
invoke-rc.d performs the stop/start/restart in that case.
OPTIONS
--restart-after-upgrade
Do not stop the unit file until after the package upgrade has been completed. This is the default behaviour in compat 10.
In earlier compat levels the default was to stop the unit file in the prerm, and start it again in the postinst.
This can be useful for daemons that should not have a possibly long downtime during upgrade. But you should make sure that the daemon
will not get confused by the package being upgraded while it's running before using this option.
--no-restart-after-upgrade
Undo a previous --restart-after-upgrade (or the default of compat 10). If no other options are given, this will cause the service to
be stopped in the prerm script and started again in the postinst script.
-r, --no-stop-on-upgrade, --no-restart-on-upgrade
Do not stop service on upgrade.
--no-start
Do not start the unit file after upgrades and after initial installation (the latter is only relevant for services without a
corresponding init script).
NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command (with the same arguments).
Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
Note that dh_systemd_start should be run after dh_installinit so that it can detect corresponding SysV init scripts. The default sequence
in dh does the right thing, this note is only relevant when you are calling dh_systemd_start manually.
