Chapter 9: Using the CFGGEN IR Configuration Utility
• noprompt – Suppresses display of warnings and prompts.
Program Return Value –
0x00 SUCCESS: command completed successfully.
0x01 FAILURE: command failed.
HOTSPARE Command
The HOTSPARE command creates a hot spare disk drive. One or two hot spare disk
can be created per controller. The capacity of a hot spare disk must be greater than or
equal to the capacity of the smallest disk in the logical drive. An easy way to verify this is
to use the DISPLAY command.
The following rules must be observed when creating hot spare disks:
1. A hot spare disk cannot be created unless at least one IM or IME volume is already
created.
2. CFGGEN does not allow adding a hot spare disk of a type (SAS/SATA) that is
different from the disk types in any of the volumes.
Command Line –
cfggen <controller #> hotspare <SCSI ID>
cfggen <controller #> hotspare bay <enclosure:bay>
Parameters –
• <controller #> – Number of the SAS controller targeted by this command.
• Bay – This option indicates that enclosure:bay values are specified instead of SCSI
ID values.
• <SCSI ID> – SCSI ID of the drive targeted by this command.
• <enclosure:bay> – The enclosure:bay value for the disk drive to use for the new
hot spare disk. These values can be obtained via the output of the DISPLAY
command.
Program Return Value –
0x00 SUCCESS: command completed successfully.
0x01 FAILURE: bad command line arguments or operational failure.
STATUS Command
The STATUS command displays the status of any volume synchronization operation
that is currently in progress on the controller. If no such operation is in progress,
CFGGEN displays a message indicating this before it exits. The STATUS command
adds the flag Inactive to the Volume State field, if the controller firmware marks the
volume as Inactive.
Command Line –
cfggen <controller #> status
