Re: Old AS400 - How do I verify if disk is operational

Hello Don,

Am 17.01.2020 um 09:06 schrieb Don Brown via MIDRANGE-L <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:

I thought it had a dead disk.

What makes you think that? Because:

I have access to DST - from DST it is reporting all IOP's and Disks as Operational

That's basically a good sign, everything is fine.


Next:

I have tried to clear the IO Cache which fails and when I use 5=Details on the failure I am returned to the main DST menu.

I'm sure this machine simply lacks the appropriate caching hardware.

If I take the option to work with disks and the initialise a disk the disks show as unconfigured.

Thats good, indeed! I'd try to do a verify-run afterwards. If this also yields no error, we need to isolate the culprit by other means.

:wq! PoC
