Configuration
● To view the help details for a configuration command, run the following command:
admin1-> racadm storage help createvd
Storage configuration of hardware RAID connected to the system.
Usage:
racadm storage createvd:<Controller FQDD> -rl {r0|r1|r5|r6|r10|r50|r60}[-wp {wt|wb|
wbf}] [-rp {nra|ra|ara}]
[-ss {1k|2k|4k|8k|16k|32k|64k|128k|256k|512k|1M|2M|4M|8M|16M}]
-pdkey:<comma separated PD FQDD> [-dcp {enabled|disabled|default}]
[-name <VD name>] [-size <VD size>{b|k|m|g|t}] [-T10PIEnable]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Options :
-rl : Set the RAID Level
r0 : RAID 0 - Striping
r1 : RAID 1 - Mirroring
r5 : RAID 5 - Striping with Parity
r6 : RAID 6 - Striping with Extra Parity
r10 : RAID 10 - Spanned Striping with Mirroring
r50 : RAID 50 - Spanned Striping with Parity
r60 : RAID 60 - Spanned Striping with Extra Parity
-wp {wt | wb | wbf} : Set the write policy to Write Through or Write Back or
Write Back Force
-rp {nra|ra|ara} : Set the read policy to No Read Ahead, Read Ahead, Adaptive
Read Ahead
-ss : Specify the stripe size to use
-pdkey:<PD FQDD list> : The PDs to use in the VD.
-dcp : Set the Disk Cache Policy in the VD
enabled : Enabled - Allow the disk to use it's cache
disabled : Disabled - Disallow the disk from using it's cache
default : Default - Use the default cache policy.
SAS Drives - Use Disabled by Default
SATA Drives - Use Enabled by Default
-name <VD name> : The name to give the VD
-size <VD size> : The size of the VD
b : Specify the size in bytes
k : Specify the size in kilobytes
m : Specify the size in megabytes
g : Specify the size in gigabytes
t : Specify the size in terabytes
-sc : Spandepth: Number of spans in a virtual disk
Note:
- This option is mandatory for hybrid raid level like RAID 10, RAID50 and RAID60.
- The default value is one for basic RAID levels.
- If RAID10 Uneven Span is Supported then for RAID10:
- -sc option will be optional.
- Will allow only 0 value for this option.
