Configuring a RAIDset

1. Create the RAIDset by adding its name to the controller's list of storagesets

and by specifying the disk drives it contains. Optionally, you can specify

RAIDset switch values:

ADD RAIDSET RAIDSET-NAME DISKNNNNN DISKNNNNN DISKNNNNN SWITCHES

Note: See the ADD RAIDSET command in the

HP StorageWorks HSG60 and HSG80

Array Controller and Array Controller Software Command Line Interface (CLI)

Reference Guide

for a description of the RAIDset switches.

2. Initialize the RAIDset, specifying any desired switches:

INITIALIZE RAIDSET-NAME SWITCH

Note: HP recommends that you allow initial reconstruct to complete before allowing

I/O to the RAIDset. Not doing so may generate forced errors at the host level. To

determine whether initial reconstruct has completed, enter SHOW RAIDSET FULL.

See “Specifying Initialization Switches” on page 77 for a description of the

initialization switches.

3. Verify the RAIDset configuration:

SHOW RAIDSET-NAME

4. Assign the RAIDset a unit number to make it accessible by the hosts. See

“Assigning Unit Numbers and Unit Qualifiers” on page 147.

For example:

The commands to create RAID1, a RAIDset with three members (DISK10000,

DISK20000, and DISK10100) and to initialize it with default values:

ADD RAIDSET RAID1 DISK10000 DISK20000 DISK30000

INITIALIZE RAID1

SHOW RAID1

Configuring a Striped Mirrorset

1. Create, but do not initialize, at least two mirrorsets.

See “Configuring a Mirrorset” on page 143.
