Activate Storage Array Firmware
This command activates firmware previously downloaded to the pending configuration area in the RAID controller
modules in the storage array.
Syntax
activate storageArray firmware
Parameters
None
Autoconfigure Storage Array
This command automatically configures a storage array. Before entering the
autoConfigure storageArray
command, run the
show storageArray autoConfiguration
command. The
show storageArray
autoConfiguration
command returns configuration information in the form of a list of valid physical disk types,
RAID levels, virtual disk information, and hot spare information. (This list corresponds to the parameters for the
autoConfigure storageArray
command.)
The RAID controller modules audit the storage array and then determine the highest RAID level that the storage array
can support and the most efficient virtual disk definition for the RAID level. If the configuration described by the returned
list is acceptable, enter the
autoConfigure storageArray
command without any parameters. To modify the
configuration, change a single parameter or all of the parameters to meet your configuration requirements. After
entering the
autoConfigure storageArray
command, the RAID controller modules set up the storage array
using either the default parameters or those you selected.

Parameters
Parameter
Description
physicalDiskType
Type of physical disks to use for the storage array. Valid
physical disk type is Serial Attached SCSI (SAS). This
parameter is not required if only one type of physical disk
is in the storage array.
raidLevel
RAID level of the disk group that contains the physical
disks in the storage array. Valid RAID levels are
0
,
1
,
5
or
6
.
diskGroupWidth
Number of physical disks in a disk group in the storage
array. For information about the number of physical disks
that you can use in a disk group, see Enclosure Loss
Protection.
