Purpose Command Description
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.
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.
