Increase Virtual Disk Capacity On A Disk Pool
This command defines the properties for a virtual disk. You can use most parameters to define properties for one or
more virtual disks. You also can use some parameters to define properties for only one virtual disk. The syntax
definitions are separated to show which parameters apply to several virtual disks and which apply to only one virtual
disk. The syntax for virtual disk mapping is listed separately.
NOTE: In configurations where disk groups consist of more than 32 virtual disks, the operation can result in host I/O
errors or internal RAID controller module reboots due to the expiration of the timeout period before the operation
completes. If you experience host I/O errors or internal RAID controller module reboots, bring the host to a
quiescent state I/O and try the operation again.
Syntax Applicable to One or More Virtual Disks
start increaseVolCapacity virtualDisk = virtualDiskName incrementalCapacity =
incrementalCapacity [addDrives = (drive-spec-list)]
Parameters
Parameter Description
addPhysicalDisks The setting to add new physical disks to the virtual disk.
For high-capacity expansion enclosures, specify the
enclosure ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID
value for the physical disk. For low-capacity expansion
enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value and the slot ID
value for the physical disk. Enclosure ID values are
0
to
99
. Drawer ID values are
0
to
4
. Slot ID values are
0
to
31
. Enclose the enclosure ID value, drawer ID value, and
the slot ID value in parentheses. Use this parameter with
the
addCapacity
parameter if you need to specify
additional physical disks to accommodate the new size.
Load Storage Array DBM Database
This command uploads a Database Management (DBM) database image from a file or from cache. This command
restores a storage array DBM database to the exact configuration that existed when the database image was captured
using the
save storageArray dbmDatabase
command. The data in a file can be just RAID configuration data or
all data, including data for RAID configuration, disk groups and disk pools. The data in a cache location always includes
all data.
Before using this command with the
file
option, you must first obtain a validator string (a security code) from your
Technical Support representative. To obtain a validator, use the
save storageArray dbmValidator
command
to generate an XML file that contains validator information.
Syntax
load storageArray dbmDatabase
((file=" filename " validator=" validatorValue ") | sourceLocation=onboard)
