Smart Array backplane RAID controllers using parallel
SCSI expect to be connected to enclosures that have
individual built in enclosure processors. These
processors or Environmental Monitoring Units (EMUs)
monitor fans, control LEDs and so on. The EMUs also
provide information about hot-plug events available
in the enclosure. The Smart Array controller is thus
always aware of the insertion or removal of a SCSI disk
drive when used with such type of enclosures, like MSA30.
The 64xx series Smart Array card can also be cabled to
the internal parallel SCSI drives on applicable I64
platforms. These drives are housed in an enclosure that
is totally passive with respect to hot-plug event
notification. The Smart Array controller cannot detect
that a physical disk has been hot-inserted. If a RAID
physical disk fails and must be replaced, the controller
will not start the recovery process on the affected RAID
volumes.
SCAN ALL command sends a SCAN message to the Smart Array
controller instructing the controller to scan SCSI buses and
discover new or replaced disk(s). After the SCAN is complete,
the REBUILD operation for the logical volumes will be
initiated for all the UNITs configured in the disk group.
This command is only applicable for the internal disk
enclosure connected to the Smart Array on I64 platforms.
Note: Refer to START RECOVER command for additional
information on rebuild of volumes.
