Enabling and Running RAID Fault Management (RAIDBLD)
C-6 Disk Array Controller Software Kit User’s Manual
If you accept these settings and require no changes, simply save the file and
reboot the server. RAIDBLD will run automatically at system startup with
the default settings.
If you wish to change one or more settings, do the following:
1. Refer to the RAIDBLD Command Line Parameter Table above and
note which parameters and or values you wish to change.
2. Modify the raidbld command line to specify your options.
Modifying the RAIDBLD command line involves doing one or more of
the following:
• Adding a parameter and value to the command line to turn ON a new
RAIDBLD function (e.g.: Adding -c /dev/tty07 to define a display
console)
• Deleting a parameter (and value, if present) to turn OFF a particular
RAIDBLD function (e.g.: Removing -r to disable automatic rebuild;
removing -R [value] to turn off background consistency checks;
removing -l [value] to turn off RAIDBLD message logging to a file,
etc.)
• Changing a parameter’s value to alter a time interval or select a
different setting (e.g.: -R 1 becomes -R 0 to allow consistency errors
to be fixed; -s 7 becomes -s 60 to increase the scan interval to 60
seconds; -S 1 becomes -S 3 to scan for both failed hot spares AND
inactive online physical devices, etc.)
3. After modifying the RAIDBLD command line, save the file.
4. If the file was edited during GAM Server installation, complete the
installation process according to instructions. If the file was edited
outside of GAM installation, close the file.
5. Reboot your server. RAIDBLD will run automatically with the settings
you selected.
