Configuring a Stripeset

See “Using Striped Mirrorsets for Highest Performance and Availability,” page 3–18for information about creating a profile and understanding the switches you can set for this kind of storage unit.

To configure a stripeset:

1.Create the stripeset by adding its name to the controller’s list of storagesets and specifying the disk drives it contains. Use the following syntax:

ADD STRIPESET stripeset-name DISKnnnn DISKnnnn

2.Initialize the stripeset. If you want to set any Initialize switches, you must do so in this step. Use the following syntax:

INITIALIZE stripeset-name switch

See “INITIALIZE,” page 5–62,for valid switches and values.

3.Present the stripeset to the host by giving it a unit number the host can recognize. Optionally, you can append Unit switch values. If you do not specify switch values, default values are applied.

ADD UNIT unit-number stripeset-name switch

See “ADD UNIT,” page 5–27,for valid switches and values.

4.Verify the stripeset configuration and switches. Use the following syntax:

SHOW stripeset-name

5.Verify the unit configuration and switches. Use the following syntax:

SHOW unit-number
