Array Configuration And Display in Command Line.

How to start ARMServer? How we can configure
and Display Array Configuration in Command Line Mode?

# arraydsp -i <- gives the following message.

Arrays known to the ARMServer:
No arrays were found by the ARMServer

Usually the ARMserver deamon is started up using "/sbin/init.d/hparry start"
If it's not running, you can typ that command manually.

If the deamon is running you can try to rescan the system using:

arraydsp -R

Hi,

check out the file:
/etc/rc.config.d/hparray
if there is the variable
HPARRAY_START_STOP=1

Regards

I have started the ARMServer Daemon and rescan using # arraydsp -R , but still no improvement.

#arraydsp -i <

The ARMserver commands work just with AutoRAID arrays. Are you sure you have connected on of these arrays to the system? Or do we talk about the same array from your post with the alternate link?

Your other thread 'Alternate Link' seems to indicate that you are using a 'Nike' array. ARMServer etc is used for managing auto-raids. Are you confusing the two or are these two separate systems?

Does the ioscan show the array to be included in the system? Are they claimed?
Was the array hooked up hot or was the system down? If hot, were the special files installed?

Hello Warghade, am I correct to assume that you know all the hardware path information for noth SPs and that you are certain that you have all the device files that you require to build alternate links? Are all other prerequisites in place that I have mentioned?

Also, are you certain that your /etc/lvmtab file is accurate? Lets see the output of strings /etc/lvmtab and the output of your ioscan commands on both SP paths. If you have any doubt then you need to run a vgscan -a command after moving the old one out of place.

Sorry Warghade, the above reply from me was meant for your previous question with regards to alternate links...
