Hi

Following a power crash on an AIX 5L system with CX400 storage, an hdiskpowerX disk is no longer accessible.

Although I do not find any reference in the EMC CLARiiON documentation that I have available, http://santosh-aix.blogspot.com/2010/08/emc-grab.html refers to a utility named 'emcpowerreset' that might resolve this problem by resetting the reservation bit on the device.

The EMC Symmetrix AIX Support Software installed on the system (fileset Symmetrix.aix.rte 5.0.0.0) does not contain util 'emcpowerreset'.

The files included in this fileset are as follows:

Path: /usr/lib/objrepos

  Symmetrix.aix.rte 5.0.0.0

                        /usr/lib/nls/msg/en_US/sym.cat

                        /usr/lpp/Symmetrix/bin/inq

                        /usr/lpp/Symmetrix/bin/rsnodecfg

                        /usr/lpp/Symmetrix/bin/mkbcv

                        /usr/lpp/Symmetrix/bin/rmbcv

                        /usr/lpp/Symmetrix/bin/emc_cfgmgr

                        /usr/lib/methods/sym.cat

Path: /etc/objrepos

  Symmetrix.aix.rte 5.0.0.0

                        NONE

I also could not find a download link for util 'emcpowerreset'.

I will appreciate any assistance.

Regards,
