Hi All,
What's the proper procedure for removing SSA arrays? Is the procedure like these?
- rmdev ssa disk
- physical turn off the ssa
- cfgmgr
There's no more filesystem or logical volume on it. It's just pdisk and hdisk.
Thanks in advance,

I am in the process of updating ssa adapters, drives and enclosures and wanted to know if there are any caveats that anyone would like to share. The documentation is not very clear on the ordering of the updates.
Any tips would be appreciated. (1 Reply)

Helo:
We updated form AIX 4.3.3 to AIX 5.1-7 and after this we spent more than double time in read from external disks. Aparently the ssa cards microcode is at last level and all the ptf and apars are instaled.

Hi
Can I add disks on the fly to extend the capacity of an existing RAID 5 volume?
It's created on a 4P Advanced SSA Raid Adapter.
I need to extend a volume group, so I figured it would be easiest to extend the "physical disk" which is a RAID5 volume.
Thanks. (1 Reply)

EJECT(1) BSD General Commands Manual EJECT(1)
NAME
eject -- eject a floppy disk, cdrom or tape
SYNOPSIS
eject [-fv] [-l | -L | -U] [-t device-type] [-d] device
eject -n
DESCRIPTION
The eject program ejects a medium from the specified device. It can also load a cdrom in the drive if this operation is supported by the
hardware. The device argument specifies a device either by its full path name (identified by a /dev/ prefix), or by one of the built-in
nicknames. If the medium contains a file system that is currently mounted, eject will attempt to unmount the file system before ejecting.
The following options are available:
-d Deprecated.
-f Force the eject operation without attempting to unmount any file systems first.
-l Load media in the drive (only supported for the cdrom device type).
-L Lock the media into the drive (but see BUGS below).
-n List the built-in nicknames on standard output.
-t device-type
Specify the device type. The argument must be one of diskette, floppy, cdrom, disk, or tape. This option is necessary when ejecting a
device for which no built-in knowledge is available.
-U Unlock the media from the drive.
-v Display some of the actions taken on standard output.
BUGS
Most disk drivers automatically lock the media on the first open and unlock it on the last close, making 'eject -L' almost useless, since
when it closes the device, it gets unlocked again.
