Purpose Command Description
To list all the RAID
controllers in a system
raidcfg -ctrl
Lists all the RAID controllers in the system.
Record the slot ID of the controllers for later
reference.
Example:
A:>raidcfg -ctrl -ac=sghs -c=2 -ad=0:1
RAIDCFG Command successful!
To list all the disks
attached to a particular
controller
raidcfg adisk -
c=slotid
Lists all the disks attached to the controller. The
slot ID is obtained from the first command.
Record the drive location of the disks for later
reference.
To create a virtual disk
with all the default
settings
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad= x:y,x:y,...
Creates a virtual disk of maximum available 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 with all
the default settings
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad= x:y,x:y,... -
sz=5GB
Creates a virtual disk of 5 GB 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 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.
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 5 GB 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 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.
