RAIDCFG 105
To create a virtual disk of a certain
size with all the default settings
raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd
-c=slotid -ad=
x:y,x:y,... -sz=5GB
Creates a virtual disk of 5GB size for type
RAID 0. RAID 0 is the default.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array
disks in <-ad=...> are obtained from the
first two commands.
To create a virtual disk of a certain
size and make it RAID 1
raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd
-c=slotid -ad=x:y,x:y
-sz=5GB -r=1
Creates a virtual disk of 5GB size for type
RAID 1.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array
disks in <-ad=...> are obtained from the
first two commands.
To create a virtual disk of a certain
size and make it RAID 5
raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd
-c=slotid -ad=
x:y,x:y,x:y,... -sz=
5GB -r=5
Creates a virtual disk of 5GB size for type
RAID 5.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array
disks in <-ad=...> are obtained from the
first two commands.
To create a virtual disk of a certain
size and make it RAID 1 with a
hot spare
raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd
-c=slotid -ad=x:y,x:y
-sz=5GB -r=1 -fd=x:y
Creates a virtual disk of 5GB size for type
RAID 1.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array
disks in <-ad=...> are obtained from the
first two commands.
The option <-fd> stands for failover drive
and requires the drive location of the drive
you want the hot spare to be in. The drive
location is obtained from the second
command.
To create a virtual disk of
RAID 10
raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd
-c=slotid -ad=
x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y -r=10
Creates a virtual disk of max size for type
RAID 10.
The slot ID in<-c=slotid> and the array
disks in <-ad=...> are obtained from the
first two commands. The drive location is
obtained from the second command.
To create a virtual disk of
RAID 50
raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd
-c=slotid -ad=
x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y,x:
y -r=50 -sp=x
Creates a virtual disk of maximum size for
type RAID 50.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array
disks in <-ad=...> are obtained from the
first two commands. The drive location is
obtained from the second command.
