Parameters

-sync
(Required) Specifies synchronization for:
  • New drives
  • Drives marked out of synchronization
  • Drives from another node
-replacecanister
(Optional) Creates an association between the new canister and internal drives by modifying the headers in the persistent data partitions. This parameter is used when a failed control canister is replaced and the boot drives from the failed canister are installed in the replacement canister. You can only specify -sync or -replacecanister, not both.
panel_name
(Optional) Specifies the panel name of the node on which to operate.
Note: If panel_name is not supplied, this command applies to the node on which the command is running.

Description

The command synchronizes a broken or FRU replacement drive. Specifying the -sync causes a node restart on the specified node.
Remember: This command can be run only in service mode (to keep the drive boots synchronized), and can be used only on systems equivalent to or the FlashSystem 9100, FlashSystem 9200, Storwize® V7000 Gen3, FlashSystem 7200, Storwize V5100, and FlashSystem 5100 systems. Otherwise, use the chnodebootdrive command.
