Quick Reference To RAIDCFG Commands

The following table lists the basic RAIDCFG commands.

Purpose	Command	Description
To list all the RAID controllers in a system	`raidcfg -ctrl`	Lists all the RAID controllers in the system. Record the slot ID of the controllers for later reference. Example: A:>raidcfg -ctrl -ac=sghs -c=2 -ad=0:1 RAIDCFG Command successful!
To list all the disks attached to a particular controller	`raidcfg adisk -c=slotid`	Lists all the disks attached to the controller. The slot ID is obtained from the first command. Record the drive location of the disks for later reference.
To create a virtual disk with all the default settings	`raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=slotid -ad= x:y,x:y,...`	Creates a virtual disk of maximum available size for type RAID 0. RAID 0 is the default. The slot ID in `<-c=slotid>` and the array disks in `<-ad=...>` are obtained from the first two commands.
To create a virtual disk of a certain size with all the default settings	`raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=slotid -ad= x:y,x:y,... -sz=5GB`	Creates a virtual disk of 5 GB size for type RAID 0. RAID 0 is the default. The slot ID in `<-c=slotid>` and the array disks in `<-ad=...>` are obtained from the first two commands.
To create a virtual disk of a certain size and make it RAID 1	`raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=slotid -ad= x:y,x:y -sz=5GB -r=1`	Creates a virtual disk of 5 GB size for type RAID 1. The slot ID in `<-c=slotid>` and the array disks in `<-ad=...>` are obtained from the first two commands.
To create a virtual disk of a certain size and make it RAID 5	`raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=slotid -ad= x:y,x:y,x:y,... -sz=5GB -r=5`	Creates a virtual disk of 5 GB size for type RAID 5. The slot ID in `<-c=slotid>` and the array disks in `<-ad=...>` are obtained from the first two commands.
To create a virtual disk of a certain size and make it RAID 1 with a hot spare	`raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=slotid -ad= x:y,x:y -sz=5GB -r=1 -fd=x:y`	Creates a virtual disk of 5 GB size for type RAID 1. The slot ID in `<-c=slotid>` and the array disks in `<-ad=...>` are obtained from the first two commands. The option <-fd> stands for failover drive and requires the drive location of the drive you want the dedicated hot spare to be in. The drive location is obtained from the second command.
To create a virtual disk of RAID 10	`raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=slotid -ad= x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y -r=10`	Creates a virtual disk of max size for type RAID 10. The slot ID in `<-c=slotid>` and the array disks in `<-ad=...>` are obtained from the first two commands. The drive location is obtained from the second command.
To create a virtual disk of RAID 50	`raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=slotid -ad= x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y ,x:y,x:y -r=50 -sp=x`	Creates a virtual disk of maximum size for type RAID 50. The slot ID in `<-c=slotid>` and the array disks in `<-ad=...>` are obtained from the first two commands. The drive location is obtained from the second command.
To create a virtual disk of RAID 6	`raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=slotid -ad= x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y ,x:y,x:y -r=6 -sp=x`	Creates a virtual disk of maximum size for type RAID 6. The slot ID in `<-c=slotid>` and the array disks in `<-ad=...>` are obtained from the first two commands. The drive location is obtained from the second command. NOTE: The minimum number of drives required to create a virtual disk of RAID 6 is 4.
To create a virtual disk of RAID 60	`raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=slotid -ad= x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y ,x:y,x:y -r=60 -sp=x`	Creates a virtual disk of maximum size for type RAID 60. The slot ID in `<-c=slotid>` and the array disks in `<-ad=...>` are obtained from the first two commands. The drive location is obtained from the second command. NOTE: The minimum number of drives required to create a virtual disk of RAID 60 is 8.
To view all the virtual disks in a system	`raidcfg vdisk`	Lists the virtual disks on a system for all RAID controllers.
To view all the virtual disks for a specific controller	`raidcfg vdisk -c=slotid`	Lists all the virtual disks on a specific controller. The slot ID in `<-c=slotid>` is obtained from the first commands.
To delete a specific virtual disk on a controller	`raidcfg vdisk -ac=dvd -c=slotid -vd= vdiskid`	Deletes a specific virtual disk on a controller. The slot ID in `<-c=slotid>` is obtained from the first command and the vdiskid in `<-vd=vdiskid>` is obtained from command 10.
