Conguring Storage Controller Settings Using RACADM
To set up the storage controller by running a RACADM command, use the following syntax.
racadm raid ctrlprop:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1 [-rebuild <value>] [-bgi <value>] [-reconstruct
<value>] [-checkconsistency <value>] [-ccmode {abortonerror | normal}] [-copybackmode {off | on
| onwithsmart}] [-lb {auto | disabled}] [-prunconfigured {yes | no}]
For more information, see the Chassis Management Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide.
Shared PERC Controllers
For systems with two integrated Shared PERC installed, you can change the operation mode from Fault Tolerant mode to Non Fault
Tolerant mode, or contrariwise using the Web Interface or the RACADM CLI by enabling or disabling the second internal shared PERC 8
controller.
For internal shared PERC8 controller, you can disable the second integrated controller. After the second integrated controller is disabled the
First integrated controller is not in fault-tolerant mode. When the second integrated controller is enabled, the two integrated controllers are
in fault-tolerant mode, by default. The second integrated controller can be disabled by using racadm raid
disableperc:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.2-1
command.
For external enclosures, both the External Shared PERC 8 card in slot 5 and slot 6 can be disabled using racadm raid disableperc:
RAID.ChassisSlot.5-1 and racadm raid disableperc: RAID.ChassisSlot.6-1
command respectively.
From the RACADM Command Line Interface, run the racadm raid get controllers command to list the number of Shared PERC
controllers on your system. If the command lists only
RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1, your system has a single Shared PERC
controller. If the command lists RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1, RAID.ChassisIntegrated.2-1 your system has two Shared
PERC controllers.
Second Integrated Shared PERC 8 and External Shared PERC 8 cards in slot 5 and slot 6 can be enabled or disabled.
To change the operation mode using the CMC Web Interface, go to the Controllers Troubleshooting page by navigating to Chassis
Overview
> Storage Controllers, in the left pane and select the Disable Raid Controller or Enable Raid Controller option.
To change the operational mode using the RACADM CLI:
• Run the racadm raid enableperc:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.2-1 command to enable the Integrated 2 shared PERC 8
and Fault Tolerant mode, if second integrated shared PERC8 is disabled.
• Run the racadm raid enableperc:RAID.ChassisSlot.6-1 command to enable external Shared PERC8 in slot 6.
• Run the racadm raid disableperc:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.2-1 command to disable Second Integrated shared
PERC8 and Fault Tolerant mode.
