Parameters

-sync: (Optional) Specifies synchronization of drives marked can_sync.
-force: (Optional) Forces synchronization (though taking the node offline might cause a volume to go offline).
Important: Using the force parameter might result in a loss of access. Use it only under the direction of your product support information.
-identify yes | no: (Optional) Allows you to control the operation of the light-emitting diode (LED) of the drive in the specified slot.
-slot slot_id: (Optional) Specifies the boot drive slot. It must be used with the -identify parameter.
resetleds: (Optional) Clears the identify LEDs of all drives in the specified node and indicates -identify no is specified.
node_id | node_name: (Optional) Specifies the ID or name of the node.

Description

The command identifies and synchronizes drive information for system drives.

Specifying -sync causes a node reboot on the specified node. This reboot is not successful if any volume is dependent on that node.

Important: If -force is also specified, the system does not check for dependent volumes.
