Virtual drive migration commands
NOTE: The virtual drive migration commands are not supported in Embedded MegaRAID.
The PERC Command Line Tool supports the following commands for virtual drive migration (reconstruction):
perccli /cx/vx show migrate perccli /cx/vx start migrate type=raidx [option=add|remove drives=[e:]s|[e:]s-x|[e:]s-x,y][Force]
The detailed description for each command follows.
perccli /cx/vx show migrate
This command shows the progress of the virtual drive migrate operation in percentage.
Input example:
perccli /c0/v0 show migrateperccli /cx/vx start migrate type=raidx [option=add|remove drives=[e:] s| [e:]s-x| [e:]s-x,y] [Force]
This command starts the reconstruction on a virtual drive to the specified RAID level by adding or removing disks from the existing virtual drive. You can use the following options with the start migrate command:
| Options | Value range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| type=raidx | RAID [0|1|5|6|10]: | The RAID level to which the virtual drive must be migrated. |
| [option=add|remove drives=[e:]s|[e:]s-x|[e:]s-x,y] [Force] |
add: Adds the specified PD to the migrated raid level remove: Removes the specified PD from the migrated raid level. drives: Specifies the list of PD's which needs to be added or removed. force: If specified, then migration will start even if any drive in the DG is secured by FDE. |
Virtual drive migration can be done between the following RAID levels:
| Initial RAID level | Migrated RAID level |
|---|---|
| RAID 0 | RAID 0 |
| RAID 0 | RAID 1 |
| RAID 0 | RAID 5 |
| RAID 0 | RAID 6 |
| RAID 1 | RAID 0 |
| RAID 1 | RAID 5 |
| RAID 1 | RAID 6 |
| RAID 5 | RAID 0 |
| RAID 5 | RAID 5 |
| RAID 5 | RAID 6 |
| RAID 6 | RAID 0 |
| RAID 6 | RAID 5 |
| RAID 6 | RAID 6 |
| RAID 10 | RAID 10 |
Input example:
perccli /c0/v3 start migrate type=r5 option=add drives=134:1-3 Please provide ratings (1-5 stars).
