Usage
config -a auto
config -a expr [-r y|n] [-c y|n] [-p y|n] [-m y|n] [-s y|n] [-t <AppType>] [-l <NumLd>]
Summary
The config command has two options: Automatic and Express.
Automatic configuration takes all available unconfigured physical drives to create
an optimized disk array following a default set of parameters. There are no
options.
Express configuration takes your input, creates one or two arrays, and spreads
their capacity evenly over all of the logical drives that you specify.
The redundancy option creates redundant logical drives (RAID 1, 10, 1E, 5, 50,
6, or 60).
The capacity option enables optimizes the logical drives for capacity.
The performance option optimizes the logical drives for performance.
If you choose all three options, redundancy gets highest priority and capacity gets
lowest priority.
Note that you cannot combine HDDs and SSDs in the same disk array. If your
system has both type of drives, it will create separate disk array/logical drive sets
for each type of physical drive.
Options
-a <action> Specifies the action to perform.
auto Automatic configuration with no options.
Creates an optimized disk array. One or more logical
drives are created automatically.
expr Express configuration. RAID level is dependant on the
options chosen.
-r <y|n> Selects the redundancy option.
-p <y|n> Selects the performance option.
-c <y|n> Selects the capacity option.
-m <y|n> Allows mixing SATA and SAS physical drives in the same
array.
-s <y|n> Includes a spare drive in the array.
Note: Requires 5 or more unconfigured physical drives.
-t <AppType> Specifies the intended application for this array.
