Omconfig Reset Controller Configuration
Description Resets the controller configuration.
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.
