I'm assuming the disks you listed are the ones you CAN see. If you think you are missing disks, then there is a CHANCE that they are configured as 'ARRAY' disks and not 'AIX system disks'.
Try: as root smitty ssaraid Change Use of Multiple SSA Physical Disks select the correct adapter select the disks you CAN'T SEE RIGHT NOW (using the physical address of the enclosure helps - IF you have a D40) Select NEW USE = AIX System Disks Miles ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miles Purdy System Manager Farm Income Programs Directorate Winnipeg, MB, CA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph: (204) 984-1602 fax: (204) 983-7557 "If you hold a UNIX shell up to your ear, can you hear the C?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10-Apr-02 8:23:52 AM >>> This is an AIX question so may be off subject a little. I just had a second SSA drawer installed with 16 disks, only 7 of them seem to be missing depending on how you want to look at them. LSPV shows this for those disks. I've never seen this before so I'm not sure how to "initialize" if you will to get them to show up in Smitty, can't see them there. I'll be using these for my disk pools and DB and Log mirrors. hdisk18 none None hdisk19 none None hdisk20 none None hdisk21 none None hdisk22 none None hdisk23 none None hdisk24 none None hdisk33 none None Others show this: hdisk25 000143405656e7ba None hdisk26 000143405657922b None hdisk27 000143405657e7d1 None hdisk28 00014340565826e1 None Thanks for the help.
