This action can also be performed without specifying the physical disks. If no physical disks are included in
the VD creation, they will be chosen automatically.
<ComponentFQDD="RAID.Slot.2‐1">
<ComponentFQDD="Disk.Virtual.0:RAID.Slot.2‐1">
<AttributeName="RAIDaction">CreateAuto</Attribute>
<AttributeName="RAIDinitOperation">Fast</Attribute>
<AttributeName="Name">xmlconfig</Attribute>
<AttributeName="Size">0</Attribute>
<AttributeName="RAIDTypes">RAID1</Attribute>
</Component>
</Component>
NOTE: Because physical disk drives included in the VDs are selected automatically based on size and
RAIDTypes, span parameters such as SpanLength and SpanDepth are also determined automatically.
Hence, they also must not be specified in the input configuration XML file.
When Size value is specified as “0”, the VD will be created with minimum number of disks required for the
RAIDTypes.
9.2 RAIDresetConfig
SCP Export will include the RAIDresetConfig attribute in the template but will be marked as False. If the
attribute is changed to True and imported, then the configuration for the associated RAID device will be reset.
This includes the removal of an VDs.
NOTE: Setting RAIDresetConfig to True is destructive and will erase all virtual disks on the controller.
Only perform this action if you intend to destroy all virtual disks on the controller.
This action will always take place before all other requested operations, so it can be stacked with create VD
and initialization.
{"FQDD":"RAID.Slot.6‐1",
"Attributes":[
{"Name":"RAIDresetConfig",
"Value":"True",
"SetOnImport":"True",
"Comment":"ReadandWrite"},
RAIDresetConfig will automatically be set to True when exported with Clone or Replace mode.
9.3 RAIDdedicatedSpare
A dedicated hot spare can be defined using the RAIDdedicatedSpare attribute found under the VD
component element. A specific disk can be defined by using the FQDD for the disk.
<ComponentFQDD="Disk.Virtual.0:RAID.Slot.2‐1">
<AttributeName="RAIDdedicatedSpare">
Disk.Bay.5:Enclosure.External.0‐0:RAID.Slot.2‐1
</Attribute>
The value ‘AutoSelect’ can be provided to automatically assign a dedicated hot spare.
