Dell Using omconfig and omreport Commands in Network Card Storage Management

Example for SAS Controllers:

To unblink the physical disk described in this example, enter:

omconfig storage pdisk action=unblink controller=1 pdisk=0:2:0

omconfig Prepare to Remove Physical Disk

Use the following omconfig command syntax to prepare a physical disk for removal:

Complete Syntax

omconfig storage pdisk action=remove controller=id pdisk=<PDISKID>

where id is the controller ID. The <PDISK> variable specifies the physical disk.

To obtain these values, enter omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then enter omreport storage pdisk controller=ID to display the IDs for the physical disks attached to the controller.

Example Syntax

In this example, you want to prepare physical disk 3 on connector 0 of controller 1 for removal. On a SAS controller, the physical disk resides in enclosure 2.

Example for SCSI, SATA, and ATA Controllers:

To prepare to remove the physical disk described in this example, enter:

omconfig storage pdisk action=remove controller=1 pdisk=0:3

Example for SAS Controllers:

To prepare to remove the physical disk described in this example, enter:

omconfig storage pdisk action=remove controller=1 pdisk=0:2:3

omconfig Initialize Physical Disk

Use the following omconfig command syntax to initialize a physical disk.

Complete Syntax

omconfig storage pdisk action=initialize controller=id pdisk=<PDISKID>

where id is the controller ID. The <PDISK> variable specifies the physical disk.

To obtain these values, enter omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then enter omreport storage pdisk controller=ID to display the IDs for the physical disks attached to the controller.

Example Syntax

In this example, you want to initialize physical disk 3 on connector 0 of controller 1. On a SAS controller, the physical disk resides in enclosure 2.
