CAUTION: Resetting a configuration permanently destroys all data on all
virtual disks attached to the controller. System or boot partition residing on
these virtual disks is destroyed. You may receive a warning message if this
command results in deleting the system or boot partition. However, this
warning message is not generated always. Ensure that you do not delete
the system or boot partition or other vital data when using this command.
Syntax
omconfig storage controller action=resetconfig
controller=id, where id is the controller ID as reported by the omreport
storage controller command.
In some circumstances, you may receive a warning message if this command
deletes the system or boot partition. You can override this warning by using the
force=yes parameter. In this case, the syntax is as follows:
omconfig storage controller action=resetconfig
controller=id force=yes
Example to Reset the configuration on controller 1.
Example
omconfig storage controller action=resetconfig
controller=1
omconfig Create Virtual Disk
The Dell OpenManage Online Help provides additional information about creating virtual disks.
The omconfig syntax for creating a virtual disk has several parameters. You must specify the following parameters:
• Controller (controller=id)
• RAID level (raid=<c| r0 | r1 | r1c | r5 | r6 | r10 | r50 | r60>
• Size (size=<number | max | min>)>
Physical disk is specified as either:
• For SCSI, SATA, and ATA controllers:
pdisk=connector:enclosureID:targetID
where connector:enclosureID:targetID is the connector number, enclosure number, and slot number.
• For SAS controllers:
pdisk=connector:targetID
where connectorID:targetID is the connector number and the slot number. For example, pdisk=0:2
Storage Management supplies default values for any of the other parameters that you do not specify.
For creating an encrypted virtual disk, specify secureflag=yes. You can create encrypted virtual disks only with
SED drives.
Complete Syntax:
omconfig storage controller action=createvdisk controller=id raid=<c| r0 | r1 |
r1c | r5 | r6 | r10 | r50 | r60>size=<number | max | min> pdisk=<PDISKID>
[stripesize=stripesize=< 2kb| 4kb| 8kb| 16kb| 32kb| 64kb | 128kb>]
[cachepolicy=<d | c>] [diskcachepolicy=<disabled | enabled>][readpolicy=<ra |
nra | ara | rc | nrc>] [writepolicy=<wb| wt| wc| nwc | fwb>] [name=<
string>]
[spanlength=<n>] | [secureflag=yes]
NOTE: If you are configuring RAID for SAS controllers with firmware version 6.1 and later, spanlength is an
optional parameter (default=2). Spanlength is an even number and is lesser than or equal to half the number of
physical disks specified in
size.
