Configuring a Stripeset
See “Using Striped Mirrorsets for Highest Performance and Availability,” page 4–19,
for information about creating a profile and understanding the switches you can set
for this kind of storage unit.
To configure a stripeset:
1. Create the stripeset by adding its name to the controller’s list of storagesets and
specifying the disk drives it contains. Use the following command:
ADD STRIPESET stripeset-name disk nnnnn disk nnnnn
2. Initialize the stripeset. If you want to set any Initialize switches, you must do so
in this step. Use the following command:
INITIALIZE stripeset-name switch
3. Present the stripeset to the host by giving it a unit number the host can recognize.
Optionally, you can append Unit switch values. If you do not specify switch
values, the default values are applied.
ADD UNIT unit-number stripeset-name switch
a. For OpenVMS hosts, set the unit number to a decimal value, ranging from
1–9999. Usually, this number is the same as the unit number set in step 3.
SET unit-number identifier = nnnn
4. Verify the stripeset configuration and switches. Use the following command:
SHOW stripeset-name
5. Verify the unit configuration and switches. Use the following command:
SHOW unit-number
