Volume Management
Using DISCUTIL
DISCUTIL is a standalone utility used to configure devices and to save
files to tape from disks that have failed, systems that have failed or
directories that have become corrupted. DISCUTIL is invoked at the
initial system load (ISL) prompt and operates on all volumes that are
configured and mounted. The ISL prompt is available after the system is
restarted. Refer to the System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown
Reference Manual (32650-90042) for more information about how to restart
a system.
The following example shows how to restart the system to use DISCUTIL.
1. Press CTRLB to reset the system.
2. Enter either TC to transfer control and save system memory or RS
to reset the system and lose system memory at the CM> prompt.
