Using the Storage Management Service 171
Example Syntax
To reconfigure virtual disk 4 to a size of 800 MB, use RAID-5 and physical
disks 0 through 3 on connector 0 of controller 1. On a SAS controller, the
physical disks reside in enclosure 2.
Example for SCSI, SATA, and ATA Controllers
In this example, enter:
omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure
controller=1 vdisk=4 raid=r5 size=800m pdisk=
0:0,0:1,0:2,0:3
Example for SAS Controllers
In this example, enter:
omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure
controller=1 vdisk=4 raid=r5 pdisk=
0:2:0,0:2:1,0:2:2,0:2:3
omconfig Change Virtual Disk Policy
Use the following omconfig command syntax to change a virtual disk’s read,
write, or cache policy.
Complete Syntax
omconfig storage vdisk action=changepolicy
controller=id vdisk=id [readpolicy=<ra| nra| ara|
rc| nrc> | writepolicy=<wb| wt| wc| nwc> |
cachepolicy=<d | c>]
where id is the controller ID and virtual disk ID as reported by the omreport
command. To obtain these values, enter omreport storage controller to
display the controller IDs and then enter omreport storage vdisk controller=ID
to display the IDs for the virtual disks attached to the controller.
See Dell OpenManage Online Help for more information about the
controller-specific read, write, and cache policy. For information on specifying
these parameters using the omconfig command, see the following:
• [readpolicy=<ra| nra| ara| rc| nrc>] Parameter (Optional)
• [writepolicy=<wb| wt| wc| nwc | fwb>] Parameter (Optional)
• [cachepolicy=<d | c>] Parameter (Optional)
