5.5.8 Drive Configuration Commands

The Diamond Storage Array ATA drives may be monitored or configured through the CLI using the commands listed below.

ATADiskState

Sets the ATA disk to the specified state.

CAUTION

In a Hot Spare configuration, a drive sled should only be taken offline if there is absolutely no activity on that drive. If there is any activity, the rebuild of the Hot Spare sled may be flawed.

Choices: enter sled number (1-12), drive number (1-2) and online or offline

Default: online

Set syntax: set AtaDiskState [sled number] [drive number] [online offline]

Get syntax: get AtaDiskState [sled number] [drive number]

DriveCopy

Copies a drive from the source disk to the destination disk. Parameters are the sled and drive numbers of the source and destination drives. The destination drive must be offline: use the ATADiskState command to determine if the disks are offline. If you choose the same source and destination drive, this command performs a DriveWipe.

Set syntax: DriveCopy [Source Sled] [Source Drive] [Destination Sled] [Destination Drive]

Immediate informational command: DriveCopyStatus

DriveCopyHalt

Stops a DriveCopy operation in progress.

Set syntax: DriveCopyHalt [Destination Sled] [Destination Drive]

AutoRebuild

If enabled, initiates an automatic rebuild of a “degraded” RAID group when a sled is replaced by a new sled. If disabled, you must manually rebuild the RAID configuration for the new sled by using RAIDManualRebuild.

Default: disabled

Set syntax: set AutoRebuild [enableddisabled] Requires a SaveConfiguration Restart command Get syntax: get AutoRebuild

ClearDiskReservedAreaData

Clears the data in the disk’s reserved area. Restarting the Diamond Storage Array is required for these settings to take effect. Omitting ReservedAreaIndex clears the entire reserved area.

Choices: enter sled number (1-12), drive number (1-2)

Immediate command: ClearDiskReservedAreaData [sled number] [drive number]

DriveCopyResume

Resumes a DriveCopy operation that had been stopped.

Set syntax: DriveCopyResume [Destination Sled] [Destination Drive]

DriveCopyStatus

Displays the status of a DriveCopy, DriveWipe or RAID5ClearData operation

Immediate informational command: DriveCopyStatus

DriveInfo

Displays information about all disk drives or detailed information about a specific disk drive. Detailed information about an individual drive is obtained by supplying a drive identifier. For examples refer to Information Commands Results on page ii.

Immediate informational command: DriveInfo [sled ID] [drive ID]

DriveSledPower

Gets/sets power to the specified drive sled. Sled must be offline

Default: on

Set syntax: set DriveSledPower [sled number] [onoff]

Get syntax: get DriveSledPower [sled number]
