As further checking, I can see it is local disk with RAID 5 in "Change/Show PCI-X SCSI pdisk" in smitty. As shown below, it's a disk inside the hdisk5 scsi raid 5 disk array.
So I though, just take out the missing disk, insert the new disk and format it with "create an array candiate pdisk and format to 512 byte sectors". But I'm not sure about this.
Hi,
Other than df -k, is there any command that will tell me all physical hard drives installed on the system as well as the size of each one?
I'm using AIX 5.1
Thanks, (3 Replies)
I am new to being a Unix admin and have a question about replacing some hardware. I have a K class box using HP-UX 10.20 with three disks. Two of the drives are in one logical volume.

hi
I've a fresh installation of SCO 5.0.7 on the IDE hard disk.
For SCSI hard disk I can declare, for example blc disk driver using:
# mkdev hd 0 SCSI-0 0 blc 0but it works for IDE hard disk? (3 Replies)

CISS(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual CISS(4)NAME
ciss -- Common Interface for SCSI-3 Support driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device scbus
device ciss
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
ciss_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The ciss driver claims to provide a common interface between generic SCSI transports and intelligent host adapters.
The ciss driver supports CISS as defined in the document entitled CISS Command Interface for SCSI-3 Support Open Specification, Version 1.04,
Valence Number 1, dated 2000/11/27, produced by Compaq Computer Corporation.
We provide a shim layer between the ciss interface and CAM(4), offloading most of the queueing and being-a-disk chores onto CAM. Entry to
the driver is via the PCI bus attachment ciss_probe(), ciss_attach(), etc. and via the CAM interface ciss_cam_action(), and ciss_cam_poll().
The Compaq ciss adapters require faked responses to get reasonable behavior out of them. In addition, the ciss command set is by no means
adequate to support the functionality of a RAID controller, and thus the supported Compaq adapters utilize portions of the control protocol
from earlier Compaq adapter families.
Currently ciss supports the ``simple'' and ``performant'' transport layer.
Non-disk devices (such as internal DATs and devices attached to the external SCSI bus) are supported as normal CAM devices provided that they
are exported by the controller firmware and are not marked as being masked. Masked devices can be exposed by setting the
hw.ciss.expose_hidden_physical tunable to non-zero at boot time. Direct Access devices (such as disk drives) are only exposed as pass(4)
devices. Hot-insertion and removal of devices is supported and notification messages will be reported to the console and logs.
The problem which adapter freezes with the message ``ADAPTER HEARTBEAT FAILED'' might be solved by updating the firmware and/or setting the
hw.ciss.nop_message_heartbeat tunable to non-zero at boot time.
