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. |
