This task can be run directly from the AIX command line. See the command syntax: diag -c -ddeviceName -T "format [-s* fmtcert | erase -a {read | write}] [-F]*Flag Descriptionfmtcert Formats and certifies the disk.erase Overwrites the data on the disk.* Available in no-console mode only.-F Force the disk erasure even if all blocks cannot be erased due to errors accessingthe grown defect map.Note: The Erase Disk option in command line mode uses default values. To selectively read orwrite, use the diag command in console mode.v Certify Hardfile attached to a PCI SCSI RAID AdapterThis selection is used to certify physical disks attached to a PCI SCSI RAID adapter. Certify reads theentire disk and checks for recovered errors, unrecovered errors, and reassigned errors. If these errorsexceed the threshold values, the user is prompted to replace the physical disk.This task can be run directly from the AIX command line. See the following command syntax: diag -c-d RAIDadapterName -T "certify {-l chID | -A}"Flag Description-c No console mode-d Specifies the RAID adapter to which the disk is attached-T Specifies the certify task and its parameters-I Specifies physical Disk channel/ID (for example: -l 27)-A All disksChange Hardware Vital Product DataUse this service aid to display the Display/Alter VPD Selection Menu. The menu lists all resourcesinstalled on the system. When a resource is selected, a menu displays that lists all the VPD for thatresource.Note: The user cannot alter the VPD for a specific resource unless the VPD is not machine-readable.Configure Dials and LPF KeysNote: The Dials and LPF Keys service aid is not supported in standalone mode (CD-ROM and NIM) onsystems with 32 MB or less memory. If you have problems in standalone mode, use thehardfile-based diagnostics.This service aid provides a tool for configuring and removing dials and LPF keys to the asynchronousserial ports.This selection invokes the SMIT utility to allow Dials and LPF keys configuration. A TTY must be in theavailable state on the async port before the Dials and LPF keys can be configured on the port. The taskallows an async adapter to be configured, then a TTY port defined on the adapter. Dials and LPF keys canthen be defined on the port.Before configuring Dials or LPF keys on a serial port, you must remove all defined TTYs. To determine ifthere are any defined TTYs, select List All Defined TTYs. Once all defined TTYs have been removed,then add a new TTY and configure the Dials or LPF keys.96 pSeries 610 Model 6C3 and Model 6E3 User’s Guide
