Are you referring to creating a filesystem? If you want to create a pool that will be used for File or Block storage the same command is used. Once you create the pool you will need to create LUNs on the pool and assign those LUNs to the ~filestorage storage group.

naviseccli -h storagepool -create -disks 1_0_0 1_0_1 1_0_2 1_0_3 1_0_4 1_0_5 1_0_6 1_0_7 1_0_8 1_0_9 -rtype r_5

  • Change to your storage processor IP address (SP-A or SP-B, doesn't matter which one)
  • Change 1_0_0 1_0_1 1_0_2 1_0_3 1_0_4 1_0_5 1_0_6 1_0_7 1_0_8 1_0_9 with the drives you actually want to use

There are more advanced features that you enable/disable but the above will create a 10 drive raid5 pool as you requested. See syntax screenshot below.

Please consider using the wizard in the GUI do this – it will create the pool LUNs according to best practices
