The following table lists the RAID replication options.

Table 1. RAID Replication Options
Mandatory Options and Arguments Optional Parameters Valid Parameters Arguments Description
-i NA <filename>

Reads the RAID configuration information from the given .ini filename and creates the RAID configurations on the specified controllers. This option is mandatory.

-o NA <filename>

Reads the RAID configurations from all available controllers and writes these configurations in the raid.ini file under the /tmp directory (in Linux systems). This option is mandatory.

A:> raidcfg -o=\tmp\raid.ini
The contents of the raid.ini file are:
                                                [vdisk0]
                                                controllerid=0
                                                size=123456
                                                raid=5
                                                readpolicy=ra
                                                writepolicy=wt
                                                stripesize=32
                                                cachepolicy=d
                                                adisk=0:0:1,0:1:1,0:2:1
                                                [vdisk1]
                                                controllerid=0
                                                size=65345
                                                raid=1
                                                readpolicy=ra
                                                writepolicy=wt
                                                stripesize=64
                                                cachepolicy=d
                                                adisk=0:3:1,0:4:1
  • NOTE: If the controller uses global hot spares, the raid.ini file contains the following section:

    [GlobalHotspare0]

    controllerid=0

    failoverdrive=0:8:0
