Users Guide
The virtual disk will be 500MB with a stripe size of 16KB. The name of the virtual disk will be vd1 and it will reside on connector 0 of controller 1. Because the
virtual disk will be 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. On a
SAS controller, the physical disks reside in enclosure 2.
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.
Example for SCSI, SATA, and ATA Controllers:
To create the virtual disk described in this example, you would enter:
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
See "pdisk=<PDISKID> Parameter on SCSI, SATA, and ATA Controllers" and "Multiple Targets" for more information on physical disk specification. See "RAID
Controller Technology: SCSI, SATA, ATA, and SAS" to identify which technology a controller uses.
Example for SAS Controllers:
To create the virtual disk described in this example, you would enter:
omconfig storage controller action=createvdisk controller=1 raid=r5 size=500m pdisk= 0:2:0,0:2:1,0:2:2,0:2:3 stripesize=16kb cachepolicy=c
readpolicy=ra writepolicy=wt
See "pdisk=<PDISKID> Parameter on SAS Controllers" and "Multiple Targets" for more information on physical disk specification. See "SAS RAID Controllers" to
identify which controllers use SAS technology.
omconfig Set Controller Rebuild Rate
Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
Use the following omconfig command syntax to set the controller rebuild rate. See "Set Rebuild Rate" for more information.
Complete Syntax
omconfig storage controller action=setrebuildrate controller=id rate=<0 to 100>
where id is the controller ID as reported by the omreport storage controller command.
Example Syntax
For example, to set the rebuild rate on controller 1 to 50, you would enter:
omconfig storage controller action=setrebuildrate controller=1 rate=50
