8-10 System Upgrade

RAID CONFIGURATION WHEN DISKS ARE ADDED

Use ftdiskadm to configure RAID when disks are added.

From “SCSI” – “Bring Up,” specify slot numbers and add the disks to the system. Then, from “RAID”

– “New Disks,” configure RAID.

Following is an example of adding disks to Slot 2 and Slot 5 using ftdiskadm:
