Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

/A[Array]

 

This option is used to configures arrays for RAID 0, 1, and 10

(for new

 

 

 

 

 

<m>:d1, d2...dn

<m> is the RAID mode for configuring. The <m> field can be any of

configuration)

 

 

/G<n>:<size>

the following three options.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

or

 

 

m=S[n]

Means the arrays are configured as RAID 0.

 

 

 

 

 

add/A[Array]

 

 

 

S[n] equals stripe size.

 

 

 

The allowed stripe sizes are 4 Kbytes, 8 Kbytes, 16

(for add

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kbytes, 32 Kbytes, 64 Kbytes, 128 Kbytes, 256 Kbytes,

configuration)

 

 

 

 

 

 

512 Kbytes, 1024 Kbytes, 2048 Kbytes, and 4096

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kbytes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

m=M

Means the arrays are configured as RAID 1.

 

 

 

 

S[n] equals stripe size.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

m=R[n]

Means the arrays are configured as RAID 10.

 

 

 

 

S[n] equals stripe size.

d1, d2...dn are the drive IDs that participate in the array.

 

 

 

<n> is an optional feature that specifies the type of RAID mode for

 

 

 

multiple/mixed mode RAID creation. It is restricted to RAID 0 and

 

 

 

RAID 1. If you select RAID 0 or RAID 1, the default RAID mode will

 

 

 

be overridden. If you do not specify a value for <n>, the default RAID

 

 

 

mode will be used. The <m> field can be any of the following two

 

 

 

options.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

n=s

Selects RAID 0 as the RAID level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

n=m

Selects RAID 1 as the RAID level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<size> represents the size in Mbytes of the logical drive to be created.

 

 

 

1. Note: The logical drive size displays in DEC format.

Initialization

/init/l<n1> /l<n2>...

This option is used to initialize a newly configured logical drive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

/init

Specifies the initialize option.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

/1n1> /l<n2>...

Specifies the logical drive numbers.

 

 

 

 

 

Rebuilding

/rbld /d<nn>

This option is used to rebuild a failed hard drive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

/rbld

Specifies the rebuild option.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

/d<nn>

Specifies the connection ID for the physical drive.

 

 

 

 

 

Check

/ccon/1<n1> /l<n2>...

This option is used to perform a consistency check of the logical drives.

Consistency

 

 

 

 

 

 

/ccon/

Specifies the check consistency option.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

/1<n1>/l<n2>..

Specifies the logical drive numbers.
