ATTO Technology Inc. Diamond Storage Array Installation and Operation Manual
5.5.8 Drive Configuration Commands
The Diamond Storage Array ATA drives may be monitored or configured through the CLI using the
commands listed below.
ATADiskState
Sets the ATA disk to the specified state.
CAUTIONCAUTION
In a Hot Spare configuration, a drive sled
should only be taken offline if there is
absolutely no activity on that drive. If there
is any activity, the rebuild of the Hot Spare
sled may be flawed.
Choices: enter sled number (1-12), drive number (1-2)
and online or offline
Default: online
Set syntax: set AtaDiskState [sled number] [drive
number] [online| offline]
Get syntax: get AtaDiskState [sled number] [drive
number]
AutoRebuild
If enabled, initiates an automatic rebuild of a “degraded”
RAID group when a sled is replaced by a new sled. If
disabled, you must manually rebuild the RAID
configuration for the new sled by using
RAIDManualRebuild.
Default: disabled
Set syntax: set AutoRebuild [enabled|disabled]
.
Requires a SaveConfiguration Restart command
Get syntax: get AutoRebuild
ClearDiskReservedAreaData
Clears the data in the disk’s reserved area. Restarting the
Diamond Storage Array is required for these settings to
take effect. Omitting ReservedAreaIndex clears the entire
reserved area.
Choices: enter sled number (1-12), drive number (1-2)
Immediate command: ClearDiskReservedAreaData [sled
number] [drive number]
DriveCopy
Copies a drive from the source disk to the destination
disk. Parameters are the sled and drive numbers of the
source and destination drives. The destination drive must
be offline: use the ATADiskState command to determine
if the disks are offline. If you choose the same source and
destination drive, this command performs a DriveWipe.
Set syntax: DriveCopy [Source Sled] [Source Drive]
[Destination Sled] [Destination Drive]
Immediate informational command: DriveCopyStatus
DriveCopyHalt
Stops a DriveCopy operation in progress.
Set syntax: DriveCopyHalt [Destination Sled] [Destination
Drive]
DriveCopyResume
Resumes a DriveCopy operation that had been stopped.
Set syntax: DriveCopyResume [Destination Sled]
[Destination Drive]
DriveCopyStatus
Displays the status of a DriveCopy, DriveWipe or
RAID5ClearData operation
Immediate informational command: DriveCopyStatus
DriveInfo
Displays information about all disk drives or detailed
information about a specific disk drive. Detailed
information about an individual drive is obtained by
supplying a drive identifier. For examples refer to
Information Commands Results
on page ii.
Immediate informational command: DriveInfo [sled ID]
[drive ID]
DriveSledPower
Gets/sets power to the specified drive sled. Sled must be
offline
Default: on
Set syntax: set DriveSledPower [sled number] [on|off]
Get syntax: get DriveSledPower [sled number]
