3.At the system prompt, access the command-line interface (CLI), and use the

./arcconf GETCONFIG command to print a list of the complete configuration of card 1 on the system.

In the following example, note that the CLI is located in the /opt/StorMan directory, and the name of the CLI is aarconf. All commands must start with ./ unless you have altered the path to include /opt/StorMan in it.

#cd /opt/StorMan

#./arcconf GETCONFIG 1

Note – Ignore any “failing to write to log files” messages that might be displayed after running the command. The command will run successfully and will provide a list of physical disks, card status, and logical disks. The list might be long if you have many physical disks.

4.Create a logical drive on the REM, using RAID 5 and all space on disks 0,2 0,3 and 0,4, run the CREATE command as shown in the following example.

#./arcconf CREATE 1 LOGICALDRIVE MAX 5 0 2 0 3 0 4

Note – After using the CREATE command, you will see error messages like the one shown in the next example. This is because you are working on a read-only file system and certain links cannot be created. However, if the last message says “Command completed successfully”, the logical drive is created.

Creating logical device: Device 2

devfsadm: mkdir failed for /dev 0x1ed: Read-only file system

WARNING: /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/sd@2,0 (sd2): Corrupt label; wrong magic number

devfsadm: inst_sync failed for /etc/path_to_inst.117: Read-only file system

devfsadm: WARNING: failed to update /etc/path_to_inst

Command completed successfully.

5.Perform the necessary tasks to configure the drive. Such tasks might include the following:

■Labeling the drive

■Partitioning the drive

■Preparing a file system

■Installing data from backups or recovering data from RAID capabilities
