Summary

The array command is the main command for performing advanced configuration and maintenance tasks on disk arrays.

This command lists, creates, modifies, deletes, and locates disk arrays. It also adds and deletes logical drives.

Options

-a <action>	Specifies the action to perform.
list	(Default) Displays a summary of all arrays, a specified
	number of arrays, or a specific array.
add	Adds/creates an array. This action might also create
	logical drives at the same time.
addld	Adds/creates a logical drive to an existing array.
delld	Deletes a logical drive from an array.
mod	Modifies array settings.
del	Deletes an array and all its associated logical drives.
locate	Locates an array.
accept	Accepts the condition of an incomplete array. Currently,
	there are two conditions that can cause an array to be
	incomplete:
	• "Missing Drive: one or more drives missing in the
	array
	• "Missing NVRAM Watermark
	The migration watermark is not found on the
	controller but the DDF on the array indicates that
	migration is in progress.
	When the either of the above conditions occurs, all the
	logical drives on the array go offline.
	You can accept the array in incomplete condition and try
	to bring the logical drives online. However, that is a high-
	risk and non-revertible operation, and it may result in data
	loss. Therefore, it is recommended to clear the condition
	first, for example: putting the missing drives back or
	roaming the array back to the original controller and wait
	until the migration completes.
transport	Takes the array and the logical drives on the array offline
	to get ready for transport the array to another subsystem.
-d <DA ID>	The disk array ID. Valid values are 0-255. Specifies the
	desired array ID when creating (add) an array. Specifies
	the array ID when listing array information, modifying,
