Reference Guide

• To prepare the PCIeSSD drive for removal, run the following command:
racadm storage preparetoremove <PCIeSSD FQDD>
NOTE: The Prepare to Remove task is not supported for HHHL PCIe SSD devices.
• To perform a secure erase operation on PCIeSSD device, run the following command:
racadm storage secureerase:<PCIeSSD FQDD>
NOTE: You can also run the command using raid in place of the storage command.
Input
• -o — Species the optimized version.
• -p — Species the property name.
• --refkey — Species the controller or enclosure FQDDs.
• -rl — Sets the storage level.
• r0 — storage 0-Striping
• r1 — storage 1-Mirroring
• r5 — storage 5-Striping with Parity
• r6 — storage 6-Striping with Extra Parity
• r10 — storage 10-Spanned Striping with Mirroring
• r50 — storage 50-Spanned Striping with Parity
• r60 — storage 60-Spanned Striping with Extra Parity
• -wp{wt|wb|wbf} — Sets the write policy to Write Through, Write Back, or Write Back Force
• -rp {nra|ra|ara} — Sets the read policy to No Read Ahead, Read Ahead, Adaptive Read Ahead
• -ss — Species the stripe size to use.
• -pdkey:<PD FQDD list> — Species the physical disk drive to use in the virtual disk.
• -dcp — Sets the Disk Cache Policy in the Virtual Disk.
• enabled — Allows the virtual disk to use the cache.
• disabled — Does not allow the virtual disk to use the cache.
• default — Uses the default cache policy. For SAS drives, use the disabled option and for SATA drives,
use the
enabled option by default.
• -name <VD name> — Species the name of the virtual disk.
• -size <VD size> — Species the size of each virtual disk.
• b — Species the size in bytes
• k — Species the size in kilobytes
• m — Species the size in megabytes
• g — Species the size in gigabytes
• t — Species the size in terabytes
• -sc — Number of spans in a virtual disk (required for multi-span RAID level).
NOTE
:
• For PERC9, if the value of controller.SupportRAID10UnevenSpans is supported, you
can enter only 0 for this option while creating RAID level 10. The created RAID10 virtual disk will
display the spandepth as
1 (default).
• For other controllers:
• The default value for multi-span RAID levels is 2 and for basic RAID level is 1.
• For hybrid RAID levels such as RAID10, RAID50, and RAID60, this option is mandatory.
•
The value for-sc option can be 0 only for RAID10.
•
-T10PIEnable — Creates a virtual disk with protection information.
• -key <Key id> — Species the key id.
• -passwd <passphrase> — Species the passphrase.
• -newpasswd <passphrase> — Species the new passphrase.
• -assign {yes | no} — Assigns or unassigns the disk as a hotspare.
