Displays, sets, or clears the attributes of a disk. When this command is used to display the current attributes of a disk, the startup disk attribute denotes the disk used to start the computer. For a dynamic mirror, it displays the disk that contains the boot plex of the boot volume.
Important
A disk must be selected for the attributes disk command to succeed. Use the select disk command to select a disk and shift the focus to it.

| clear | Clears the specified attribute of the disk with focus. |
