How to move referenced chinklets?

3par-7200 cli% showpdch 24
No chunklet information available.
3par-7200 cli% dismisspd 24
Error : Pd id 24 is referenced by chunklet 12:1550

You have to move it.  You can't remove it, it has data.

>How to move referenced chunklets?

This is the hard part, you need to do scripting.  What does this show:

showpdch -from 24

And might as well:

showpdch -from 13

Grate thank's to Dennis Handly!

I did it.

So, full solution:

1. For existing disk need to execute commands
1. to remove spare: removespare -f pdid:a
2. to move existing chinklets first create script with command: movech -perm -ovrd -f pdid:chinkletnumber (you can collect pdid and chinkletnumber from showpdch -from pdid. I used Exel to create 722 commands)
3. remove disk from the system: dismisspd pdid
2. Insert a new disk then run servicemag resume cage_ID magazine_ID

Well, you could write a one liner bash script to do this.

Hello Dennis,

wouldn't a movepd do the job here ? (not sure, just asking).

Thanks,

J.

One would think but typically there isn't enough spares in the right places for the system to do that.

It errors out since there isn't a -ovrd option.

could you please help me with the one liner bash script to accomplish this task? I have 2127 chunklets to be moved. Appreciate you help.

In windows command line you can make script this way (pd_chunklets.txt is the output of the shodpdch # without header and footer) :

for /f "tokens=1,2" %i in (pd_chunklets.txt) do echo movech -f -perm -ovrd %i:%j >>movech.txt

and then paste content of the movech.txt into putty window
