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 StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller ACS
Version 8.7 CLI Reference Guide for a description of the RAIDset switches.
2. Initialize the RAIDset, specifying any desired switches:
INITIALIZE RAIDSET-NAME SWITCH
NOTE: StorageWorks 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 2–29 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 5–22.
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 5–18.
2. Create a stripeset and specify the mirrorsets it contains:
ADD STRIPESET STRIPESET-NAME MIRRORSET-1 MIRRORSET-2....MIRRORSET-N
3. Initialize the striped mirrorset, specifying any desired switches:
INITIALIZE STRIPESET-NAME SWITCH
