Re: disc array VA7100
armdsp -i gives me "invalid option" message
I must note that im connected directly to ths disc array and have no unix available.
according to something I researched about 5 minutes ago, the instrction to format the array is:
armfmt -f -h
1. is there any other way to obtain the array id?
2. what would happen if a just executed armfmt by itself ?

Re: disc array VA7100
I was on a lunch break, sorry for the delay.
The thing is:
The VA has a port to connect a console on the back, And im connected to this port Im not interacting with unix to mi knowlodge,
Why did I connect to this port, I was told that in order to format the array i needed to connect here.
I am being displayed a prompt like these one:
No map>
And in this prompt, commands like:
armdsp
armdsp -f
vfpdsp
vfpdsp -f
are accepted.
Also i must note that in the front of the VA
the green LED is on
And the Ambar LED is flashing.

Re: disc array VA7100
vfpdsp -e
and take Serial Number.
Command armfmt accepts as array-id also Serial Number of VA.
Take http://www1.itrc.hp.com/service/cki/docDisplay.do?docLocale=en_US&docId=200000079881084 to troubleshooting of VA and LED status indications.

Re: disc array VA7100
Formating of array is complete, but now there is a message that says, "Not enough disks", I only have 3 disks in the array, I read that you need a minimum of 4 for the array to work, is this true?, and if it is can this by bypassed?
