68Partitions

24 physical drives

An example of RAID 0 configuration (QuickRAID0 4): 2 or more physical drives

into 1 or mor e Virtual Drives .

Virtual Drive 0 has been configured into two partitions: LUNs 1 and 2.

Each Virtual Drive 1, 2 and 3 is configured by default as one partition and

designated LUNs 3, 4, and 5

RAID 0 subsystem example:

4 Virtual Dr ives

VD1, L3

VD0

VD2, L4

VD3, L5

P1 L1

P2 L2

P0

may only be applied after Partition

configuration.

2 Each RAID group is a Virtual Drive. The array

assigns an ID to each Virtual Drive. (refer to

RAID Level 1

on page 55,

RAID Level 10

on page

61 and

RAID Level 5

on page 57 about how to

create Virtual Drives). Type

VirtualDriveInfo

[active]

to determine the Virtual Drive ID and

LUNs of any Virtual Drives already set up on

your array.

3Type

VirtualDriveInfo [planned] to determine

if any partitioning has been planned but not

completed. If a merge has been planned and

you want the merge, go to step 5.

4 You may create up to 16 partitions on any

single Virtual Drive, with no more than 127

partitions across the entire array. Type

PartitionSplit [Virtual Drive ID]

[Partition ID] [number of Partitions]

5Type

PartitionCommit

to create the partitions.

The array completes the configuration and

reboots. The planned configuration you have

entered becomes persistent and active.

6 The array completes the configuration and

reboots.

To merge partitions

CAUTIONCAUTION

You may lose the ability to access data

when you merge partitions. Either back up

the data to another storage area or only

merge partitions which are data-free.

1Type

PartitionInfo [active]

to determine the

current partitions and their IDs.

2Type

PartitionInfo [planned]

to determine if

partitioning had been planned but not

completed. If a merge has been planned and

you want that merge, go to step 4.

3Type

PartitionMerge [Virtual Drive ID] [Partition

ID|all] [<Partition Number...>]

to create a

planned partition configuration.

4Type

PartitionCommit

to merge the partitions

and make the planned partition configuration

the active configuration.

5 The array completes the configuration and

reboots.
