LED Codes on a 7133 D40 SSA Drawer 1

[TG1]

I was told that you can use the 4 digit LED panel on the front of the drawer to help identify the drawer and give it your own name (SSA1, SSA2,...). I could not find how to do that anywhere. Anyone know how to do this or is it some type of status indicator and I just got some bad info.

Thanks for the help

Hi,

Try to use the buttons below the LED screen.

read pages 266-268 of "7133 Models D40 and T40 Service Guide" [GY33-0192-07]. The trick does the "ssaencl" command:

ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/storage/7133/pdfs/7133_ServGde.pdf

To modify the ID for enclosure0 to R2D2, give the command:
ssaencl -l enclosure0 -I R2D2

To display the status and VPD of the controller card in enclosure0, give the command:
ssaencl -l enclosure0 -c -v

Thanks for the command line tip. That did the trick.

thanks ogniemi, this is an easier way to do it but i think the location codes for the enclosure and the disks inside the enclosure do not get updated unless you run cfgmgr or reboot the server. check it with lscfg.

 

[ogniemi]

yes, you right. as I remember it is enough to run mentioned cfgmgr....

thx for the star.
