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.
