Parameters

-sync
(Required) Specifies synchronization for:
  • New drives
  • Drives marked out of synchronization
  • Drives from another node
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 SAN Volume Controller 2145-DH8 or the FlashSystem 9100, FlashSystem 9200, Storwize® V7000 Gen3, FlashSystem 7200, Storwize V5100, and FlashSystem 5100 systems. Otherwise, use the chnodebootdrive command.
