Autoconfigure Storage Array

Description

This command automatically configures a storage array. Before entering the autoConfigure storageArray command, run the show storageArray autoConfiguration command. The show storageArray autoConfiguration command returns configuration information in the form of a list of valid physical disk types, RAID levels, virtual disk information, and hot spare information. (This list corresponds to the parameters for the autoConfigure storageArray command.)

The RAID controller modules audit the storage array and then determine the highest RAID level that the storage array can support and the most efficient virtual disk definition for the RAID level. If the configuration described by the returned list is acceptable, enter the autoConfigure storageArray command without any parameters. To modify the configuration, change a single parameter or all of the parameters to meet your configuration requirements. After entering the autoConfigure storageArray command, the RAID controller modules set up the storage array using either the default parameters or those you selected.

Syntax

autoConfigure storageArray [physicalDiskType=(SAS)] [raidLevel=(0 1 5 6)] [diskGroupWidth=numberOfPhysicalDisks] [diskGroupCount=numberOfDiskGroups] [virtualDisksPerGroupCount=numberOfVirtualDisksPerGroup] [hotSpareCount=numberOfHotSpares] [segmentSize=segmentSizeValue] [cacheReadPrefetch=(TRUE FALSE)] [readAheadMultiplier=multiplierValue] [securityType=(none capable enabled)] [dataAssurance=(none enabled)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
physicalDiskType	Type of physical disks to use for the storage array.
	Valid physical disk type is Serial Attached SCSI
	(SAS). This parameter is not required if only one
	type of physical disk is in the storage array.
raidLevel	RAID level of the disk group that contains the
	physical disks in the storage array. Valid RAID levels
	are 0, 1, 5 or 6.
diskGroupWidth	Number of physical disks in a disk group in the
	storage array. For information about the number of
	physical disks that you can use in a disk group, see
	Enclosure Loss Protection.
diskGroupCount	Number of disk groups in the storage array. Use
	integer values.
