0514-086 Cannot perform the requested function because the specified device is not supported on this platform in aix?


What happened:


We got that disk failure issue on the server, so we have raised case with vendor and they confirmed that the disk is faulty. We are trying to replace the disk however after the disk has been replaced we got the below error (which means we could not able to scan the newly replaced disk)


Error:


# cfgmgr

0514-086 Cannot perform the requested function because the specified device is not supported on this platform


Root cause / Fix :


The field engineer trying to replace the disk with 15K drives which is not supported on the server, later we can replace the disk with 10K drives on the server and we have executed the cfgmgr again, and the server detected the disk easily.
