Quick Reference Guide

Purpose Command Description
x:y,x:y,x:y,... -
sz=5GB -r=5
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 5 GB 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 dedicated 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.
To create a virtual disk of
RAID 6
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad=
x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y ,x
:y,x:y -r=6 -sp=x
Creates a virtual disk of maximum size for type RAID 6.
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.
NOTE: The minimum number of drives required to
create a virtual disk of RAID 6 is 4.
To create a virtual disk of
RAID 60
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad=
x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y ,x
:y,x:y -r=60 -sp=x
Creates a virtual disk of maximum size for type RAID 60.
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.
NOTE: The minimum number of drives required to
create a virtual disk of RAID 60 is 8.
To view all the virtual disks
in a system
raidcfg vdisk
Lists the virtual disks on a system for all RAID controllers.
To view all the virtual disks
for a specific controller
raidcfg vdisk -
c=slotid
Lists all the virtual disks on a specific controller.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> is obtained from the first
commands.
To delete a specific virtual
disk on a controller
raidcfg vdisk -
ac=dvd -c=slotid -
vd= vdiskid
Deletes a specific virtual disk on a controller.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> is obtained from the first
command and the vdiskid in <-vd=vdiskid> is
obtained from command 10.
