6–10 Configuring Storagesets
Chapter 7, “CLI Commands,” contains more information on valid switches and
values for configuring a RAIDset.
Configuring a Striped Mirrorset
See Chapter 4, “Planning Storagesets,” for information about creating a profile and
understanding the switches you can set for this kind of storage unit.
To configure a striped mirrorset:
1. Create—but do not initialize—at least two mirrorsets.
2. Create a stripeset and specify the mirrorsets it contains. Use the following
command:
ADD STRIPESET mirrorset_1 mirrorset_2
3. 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
See “SET mirrorset-name,” page 7–110 for a complete list of valid mirrorset
switches and values.
4. 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.
Use the following command to present the stripeset to the host:
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 4.
SET unit-number identifier = nnnn
5. Verify the striped mirrorset configuration and switches. Use the following
command:
SHOW stripeset-name
