Operating the Storage System
This chapter describes how to run CHALLENGE RAID after you have
configured it. The chapter explains:
•
checking storage system status
•
shutting down the CHALLENGE RAID storage system
•
restarting the CHALLENGE RAID storage system
This chapter introduces the /usr/raid5/raid5 command (command line
interface, or CLI). Use raid5 with its parameters in an IRIX shell on
CHALLENGE to get names of devices controlled by the storage-control
processor (SP), display status information on disk modules, disk module
groups (LUNs), SPs, and other system components, and display the storage
processor log, in which error messages are stored.
Note:
Although the directory and command are raid5, the command is valid
for all RAID levels.
Other chapters in this guide explain how to use the raid5 command to bind
(group) physical disks into RAID units and unbind them, set up caching,
and accomplish other tasks.
