RAIDCFG Options And Arguments

Table below lists all of the valid options, parameters, and arguments for the RAIDCFG utility. For more information on valid RAIDCFG options and their specific uses, see RAID Configuration Utility Options and Arguments .

Mandatory command line options must be present in the command. Optional command line options can be typed in any order after the mandatory options have been typed. Many options have both a short and long format. Short and long format options cannot be used in the same command line instance.

Table below shows some examples of valid and invalid short and long format command line instances. For an explanation of the specific order for each option, see RAID Configuration Utility Options And Arguments. For a list of frequently used RAID commands, see Quick Reference To RAIDCFG Commands .

NOTE: Some of the following options or arguments might not be available on all systems.

Table 1. RAIDCFG Short and Long Format Options

	`ch:targ, ch:targ, ...` or `ch:targ:lun,...` or `ch:targ:enc` `channel:target`, or `channel:target:lun`, or `channel:target:enclosure`	Specifies an array disk. For SCSI controllers, the value of LUN should always be 0. For SAS controllers, the value of enclosure can be non-zero, in which case you must specify values for channel, target, and enclosure. NOTE: You can also use `pdisk` or `-pd` instead of `adisk` or `-ad` to specify an array disk.	Optional. See Enumerating Array Disks for specific usage information.
-c or controllerid	`< valid controller ID number>`	Specifies a RAID controller.	See Enumerating RAID Controllers for specific usage information.
`-cp or cachepolicy`	`d, c or d, e`	Specifies the cache policy for reads on a specified virtual disk or disk cache policy.	Optional. See Creating Virtual Disks for specific usage information.
`-ctrl or controller`	NA	Displays a list of the supported RAID controllers in the system, along with select property information.	Mandatory, must be typed in the correct order. See Enumerating RAID Controllers for specific usage information.

`-sp or spanlength`	`< number>`	The span size of RAID 5, which is a mandatory parameter for RAID 50. NOTE: Spanlength is applicable for RAID 10, RAID 50, and RAID 60. The minimum permissible spanlength value is `2`for RAID 10, `3`for RAID 50 and `4`for RAID 60. The number of array disks for creating virtual disks should not be a prime number and should be divisible by the specified spanlength.	Mandatory. See Creating Virtual Disks for specific usage information.
`-sz or size`	`< number>`	Sets the maximum size on the virtual disk in MB or GB if the size is not provided. The default size is in MB. If GB follows the number, the size is expressed in GB.	Optional. See Creating Virtual Disks for specific usage information.
`-ssz or stripesize`	`< number>`	Sets the stripe size on the virtual disk in KB. NOTE: When creating virtual disks, do not specify the units for chunk (stripe) size. The units are always listed in KB.	Optional. See Creating Virtual Disks for specific usage information.
