Depending on the size of the database image, restoring the database might take up to 30 minutes. The host software does not show the RAID controller modules in an optimal state till all actions for loading the database image are completed on the controllers.

Modify Disk Pool

Description

This command adds capacity to a disk pool or changes the RAID controller module ownership for the entire disk pool. These two operations are mutually exclusive.

Syntax

set diskPool [diskPoolName] (addPhysicalDisks=[enclosureID1,drawerID1,slotID1 ...

enclosureIDn,drawerIDn,slotIDn] addCapacity=(diskPoolCapacity)) [owner=(0 1)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
addDrives	Identifies multiple physical disks to add to the disk
	pool. Each disk pool must be created from a
	minimum of 11 physical disks specified. There is no
	upward limit of physical disks supported in a single
	disk pool, but the number cannot exceed the
	number of physical disks supported on the storage
	array.
addCapacity	Use the addCapacity parameter to specify the
	amount of storage and automatically select
	physical disks to meet that capacity.
owner	The RAID controller module that owns the disk
	pool. Valid RAID controller module identifiers are 0
	or 1, where 0 is the RAID controller module in slot
	0, and 1 is the RAID controller module in slot 1. If
	you do not specify an owner, the RAID controller
	module firmware determines the owner.
