HP XP P9000 RAID Manager Reference Guide (T1610-96061, January 2014)

3 Subcommands
This chapter provides the specifications for the RAID Manager subcommands.
Windows subcommands
The RAID Manager provides the following subcommand for allowing the operation of the HORC
and HORCM on WindowsNT/2000/2003/2008/2012 in the same way as on UNIX. When
you specify a subcommand as the only option of a command, you do not need to start HORCM.
If another option of the command and the subcommand are specified on the same command line,
it places the other option after the subcommand.
The Windows subcommands are:
• “findcmddev” (page 106)
• “drivescan” (page 107)
• “portscan” (page 108)
• “sync, syncd” (page 108)
• “mount” (page 110)
• “umount, umountd” (page 112)
findcmddev
The findcmddev subcommand searches for command devices within the specified range of disk
drive numbers. If it is found, the command device appears in the same format as in the configuration
definition file. This subcommand is used when the command device name is not known and when
the HORCM is not started.
Caution: The findcmddev subcommand must be used when HORCM is not running.
Note: The findcmddev subcommand searches for the physical and logical drives associated with
the command device. If the command device is indicated as a logical drive in addition to a physical
drive, then a drive letter is assigned to the command device. You must delete the drive letter
assigned to the command device to prevent utilization by general users.
The 'Volume{GUID}' must be made by setting a partition using the disk management. Do not format
it. In a SAN environment, the physical drive number might be changed on every reboot. For this
case, use the Volume (GUID) that keeps as the same name.
Syntax
-x findcmddev drive#(0-N)
Argument
drive#(0-N): Specifies the range of disk drive numbers on the Windows system.
Example
The following shows an example of the findcmddev subcommand used as an option of the raidscan
command and its output. This example searches for command devices in the range of disk drive
numbers 0 through 20.
D:\HORCM\etc> raidscan -x findcmddev hdisk0, 20
cmddev of Ser# 62496 = \\.\PhysicalDrive0
cmddev of Ser# 62496 = \\.\E:
cmddev of Ser# 62496 = \\.\Volume{b9b31c79-240a-11d5-a37f-00c00d003b1e}
