ssaencl command

[ogniemi]

Does anyone know what does mean "exchanged TRUE" in the "ssaencl -l enclosure1 -d" output - below example?

enclosure enclosure1
component drive_bay_13
contents disk_drive
fault FALSE
exchanged TRUE
PFA FALSE
identify FALSE
remove FALSE


Indeed, the disk was replaced with new one but what does mean the "exchanged TRUE" and when it will be "exchanged FALSE" like is for the othe disks in the enclosure:


enclosure enclosure1
component drive_bay_12
contents disk_drive
fault FALSE
exchanged FALSE
PFA FALSE
identify FALSE
remove FALSE


BTW: The disk works properly, is added to a VG, no error reports.

I found this, don't ask me what exchanged means but "-S" switch resets this condition.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Command Line Tools: ssaencl Command

Purpose

To allow the monitoring and changing of the status for SSA SES disk
enclosures (subsystems).

Syntax

To display enclosure component settings:

ssaencl -l name [-s]
[-v]
[-i]
[-b[card ...]]
[-t[threshold ...]]
[-a]
[-f[fan ...]]
[-d[drive_bay ...]]
[-p[PSU ...]]
[-o]
[-c]

To modify enclosure component settings:

ssaencl -l name [-I ID [-U]]
[-B mode | card=mode ...]
[-S {d[drive_bay ...] | b[card ...] | p[PSU ...] | r |
c | o }]
[-T threshold=value ...]

For help, type: ssaencl -? or ssaencl -h

Description

The ssaencl command can be used to observe the existing settings of an SSA
SES disk enclosure (subsystem), or to modify the settings of that
enclosure. The command can be used only to observe or modify settings; it
cannot be used to observe and modify settings at the same time. When the
command displays enclosure settings, it displays them in tables that the
user can read easily. If the -s flag is specified, however, the command
displays the settings in colon-separated format, as used by commands such
as the SMIT commands.

Flags

-l name name Specifies the name of an SSA SES enclosure or
pdisk. If a pdisk name is used, that pdisk must be in
an SSA SES enclosure.

-s Displays output in colon-separated format.

-v Displays also VPD information.

-i Displays the enclosure identifier (as shown in the
operator panel, if present).

-b [card] Displays the status of the bypass cards. If no
parameters are given, the status for all the bypass
cards is displayed. Valid values for the [card]
parameter are: 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12, 13, 16.

-t [threshold] Displays all the temperature thresholds, or only the
specified temperature thresholds. The valid values for
the [threshold] parameter are:

lowarn The low-temperature warning threshold.
locrit The low-temperature critical threshold.
hiwarn The high-temperature warning threshold.
hicrit The high-temperature critical threshold.

-a Displays the ambient temperature of the enclosure and
temperature threshold statuses.

-f [fan] Displays the status of all the fans, or of only the
specified fans. Valid values for the [fan] parameter
are: 1, 2, 3, and so on.

-d [drive_bay] Displays the status of all the disk drive bays (slots),
or of only the specified disk drive bays. Valid values
for the [drive_bay] parameter are: 1, 2, 3, and so on.

-p [PSU] Displays the status of all the power supply assemblies,
or of only the specified power supply assemblies. Valid
values for the [PSU] parameter are 1, 2.

-o Displays the status of the operator panel.

-c Displays the status of the controller card.

-I ID[-U] Modifies the enclosure ID. The ID must be a
four-character alphanumeric string. The optional -U
flag causes the object data manager (ODM) to be updated
to show the change.

-B mode Modifies all bypass cards to the given mode.

-B card=mode Modifies the specified bypass cards to be in the given
modes. The valid values for the mode parameter are:

* Automatic
* Bypass
* Inline
* Open

Valid values for the card parameter are: 1, 4, 5, 8, 9,
12, 13, 16.

-S Resets the "exchanged" flag of the selected FRU.

d[drive_bay ...] Resets the flag for the selected drive
bay. Valid values for drive_bay are 1,
2, 3, and so on.
b[card ...] Resets the flag for the bypass card.
Valid values for card are 1, 4, 5, 8,
9, 12, 13, 16.
p[PSU ...] Resets the flag for the selected PSU.
Valid values for PSU are 1, 2.
r Resets the flag for the RPO.
c Resets the flag for the controller
card.
o Resets the flag for the operator
panel.

-T threshold=value Modifies the specified temperature thresholds to the
given values. The valid values for the [threshold]
parameter are:

lowarn The low-temperature warning threshold.
hiwarn The high-temperature warning threshold.

The value parameter is a temperature in degrees C.

Examples

* To display the status of all bypass cards on enclosure0, give the
command:

ssaencl -l enclosure0 -b

* To display the status and VPD of the controller card in enclosure0,
give the command:

ssaencl -l enclosure0 -c -v

* To modify the ID for enclosure0 to R2D2, give the command:

ssaencl -l enclosure0 -I R2D2

* To display the contents of disk bay (slot) 8 in enclosure0, give the
command:

ssaencl -l enclosure0 -d 8

 

[sbix]

From the 7133 Operator Guide:
"Exchanged" flag. When set this flag indicates that the FRU has been removed and reinstalled or exchanged for a new FRU since the last flag was reset.

This means you have to reset this flag using "-S " option with the -d[drive_bay] (where drive_bay is the disk slot position starting by 1)
