omconfig storage Commands 261
Example Syntax
You can create a RAID-5 virtual disk of 500MB with a stripe size of 16 KB on a
PERC 3/QC controller. The name of the virtual disk is vd1 and it resides on
connector 0 of controller 1. Because the virtual disk is a RAID-5, it requires at
least three physical disks. In this example, you specify four physical disks.
These are physical disks 0 through 3. The virtual disk has
read-ahead,
write–through caching, and cache I/O policies.
To create a virtual disk:
omconfig storage controller action=createvdisk
controller=1 raid=r5 size=500m pdisk=
0:0,0:1,0:2,0:3 stripesize=16kb cachepolicy=c
readpolicy=ra writepolicy=wt
The only parameters that require specification are for the controller,
RAID level, virtual disk size, and physical disk selection. Storage
Management supplies default values for all other unspecified parameters. For
more information on read, write, and cache policies are supported by the
controller, see the Dell OpenManage Online Help.
omconfig Set Controller Rebuild Rate
Use the following omconfig command syntax to set the controller rebuild
rate:
Complete Syntax
omconfig storage controller action=setrebuildrate

where id is the controller ID as reported by the omreport storage controller

Example Syntax
To set the rebuild rate to 50 on controller 1, type:
omconfig storage controller action=setrebuildrate
controller=1 rate=50
