Users Guide
You can reconfigure a virtual disk in order to change the virtual disk's RAID level or increase its size by adding physical disks. On some controllers, you can also
remove physical disks.
Before continuing with the virtual disk reconfiguration, you should be familiar with the information in "Starting and Target RAID Levels for Virtual Disk
Reconfiguration" and "Choosing RAID Levels and Concatenation."
Complete Syntax
omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller= id vdisk=id raid=<c| r0 | r1 | r5| r6 | r10> size= <size> pdisk=<PDISK>
See "Parameter Specification for Create and Reconfigure Virtual Disk" for information on specifying the parameters. See "pdisk=<PDISKID> Parameter" and
"Multiple Targets" for more information on specifying physical disks.
Example Syntax
For example, you want to reconfigure virtual disk 4 to a size of 800MB. You will 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, you would enter:
omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller= 1 vdisk=4 raid=r5 size=800m pdisk=0:0,0:1,0:2,0:3
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:
In this example, you would 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
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 Change Virtual Disk Policy
Does my controller support this feature? See "Supported Features."
Use the following omconfig command syntax to change a virtual disk's read, write, or cache policy.

NOTE: When using a SAS controller, the size parameter is not required.
