Modifying iSCSI Virtual Drive Properties
■
On Oracle Solaris,
raidconfig
is not compatible with the
raidctl
CLI tool.
raidconfig
supports SAS2, but the
raidctl
tool does not.
■
For servers running Oracle Solaris, after hot-plugging any device, run the
devfsadm -C
command to reenumerate all of the system device nodes before running the
raidconfig
command.
Caution -
Changing the RAID configuration erases all the data on the affected drives, including
the OS. If you change the RAID configuration on a boot drive, you must reinstall the OS.
1. Access the operating system command-line with root privileges.
For more information, see “Accessing the Host Console” on page 38 or “Accessing Oracle
Hardware Management Pack” on page 32 .
2. Use the
raidconfig create raid
command:
raidconfig create raid [--level
level
] [--stripe-size
stripeSize
] [--subarrays
sizeOfRAIDcomponents
] [--name
volumeName
] [--subdisk-size
size
] -disks
disks
