EFI Disk labels on 3510 raid array
Hi Peeps,
Can anyone help me an EFI lablel on a 3510 raid array that I cannot get rid of, format -e and label just asks you if you want to label it. Want an SMI label writing to it.
Anyone got any ideas on how to remove the EFI label?
Thanks in advance
Martin

Hello,
On 4/20/2018, we performed a disk replacement on our IBM 8202 P7 server. After the disk was rebuilt, the SAS Disk Array sissas0 showed a status of degraded. However, the pdisks in the array all show a status of active.

getvol
getvol(1M) System Administration Commands getvol(1M)
NAME
getvol - verifies device accessibility
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/getvol -n [-l label] device
/usr/bin/getvol [-f | -F] [-ow] [-l label | -x label] device
DESCRIPTION
getvol verifies that the specified device is accessible and that a volume of the appropriate medium has been inserted. The command is
interactive and displays instructional prompts, describes errors, and shows required label information.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-n Runs the command in non-interactive mode. The volume is assumed to be inserted upon command invocation.
-l label Specifies that the label label must exist on the inserted volume (can be overridden by the -o option).
-f Formats the volume after insertion, using the format command defined for this device in the device table.
-F Formats the volume after insertion and places a file system on the device. Also uses the format command defined for this device
in the device table.
-o Allows the administrator to override a label check.
-w Allows administrator to write a new label on the device. User is prompted to supply the label text. This option is ineffective
if the -n option is enabled.
-x label Specifies that the label label must exist on the device. This option should be used in place of the -l option when the label
can only be verified by visual means. Use of the option causes a message to be displayed asking the administrator to visually
verify that the label is indeed label.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
device Specifies the device to be verified for accessibility.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
1 Command syntax was incorrect, invalid option was used, or an internal error occurred.
