Summary
The array command is the main command for performing advanced configuration
and maintenance tasks on disk arrays.
This command lists, creates, modifies, deletes, and locates disk arrays. It also
adds and deletes logical drives.
Note that you cannot mix Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and Solid State Drives (SSD)
in the same disk array.
Options
-a <action> Specifies the action to perform.
list (Default) Displays a summary of all arrays, a specified
number of arrays, or a specific array.
add Adds/creates an array. This action might also create
logical drives at the same time.
addld Adds/creates a logical drive to an existing array.
delld Deletes a logical drive from an array.
mod Modifies array settings.
del Deletes an array and all its associated logical drives.
locate Locates an array.
accept Accepts the condition of an incomplete array. Currently,
there are two conditions that can cause an array to be
incomplete:
• "Missing Drive: one or more drives missing in the
array
• "Missing NVRAM Watermark
The migration watermark is not found on the
controller but the DDF on the array indicates that
migration is in progress.
When the either of the above conditions occurs, all the
logical drives on the array go offline.
Warning
When you delete a disk array, you also delete any logical drives
that belong to it, along with the data they contain.
When you initialize a logical drive, you delete all data on the
logical drive.
Back up any important data before deleting a disk array or logical
drive.
