Create virtual devices for SSD with PERCCLI
Use PERCCLI to create virtual devices (VDs) for SSDs on a VxFlex Ready Node
server.
Before you begin
Ensure that the PERCCLI disk utility is installed.
Before using PERCCLI, ensure that your working directory is
/opt/lsi/perccli/
.
If it is not, run:
cd /opt/lsi/perccli/
Use this procedure both for SSD for storage and SSD to be used to provide caching
acceleration. The VDs created on SSD are configured with Direct IO and write-
through, but read-ahead is not enabled.
Procedure
1. Log in to the server.
2. Create the VD:
/opt/lsi/perccli/perccli /c0 add vd type=raid0
drives=
<EID>
:
<Slt>
direct wt nora
Example:
/opt/lsi/perccli/perccli /c0 add vd type=raid0 drives=32:0
direct wt nora
where
EID and Slt are the Enclosure ID and Slot ID values, which in this example
are 32:0.
Results
The VD was created successfully.
After you finish
Continue with the procedure that referred you to this topic.
