Create virtual devices with PERCCLI
Create virtual devices (VDs) on disks using the PERCCLI utility. You need to perform
this step before adding disks to a ScaleIO SDS server in the ScaleIO Ready Node
system.
Note
If the server contains the HBA330 controller, skip this step.
When creating virtual devices, note the following:
l
You create one virtual device for each kind of disk, HDD or SSD.
l
The VDs for HDD are configured with Direct IO, write-back, and read-ahead
enabled (abbreviated in PERCCLI as RWBD).
l
The VDs for SSD are configured with Direct IO and write-through, but read-ahead
is not enabled. (Abbreviated in PERCCLI as NRWTD.)
In the PERCCLI commands that follow, the controller ID is assumed to be 0,
designated by
/c0
. In some cases, the controller ID may be different, which will cause
a
Controller 0 not found
error to be displayed. If this occurs, determine your
controller ID by running the following command:
perccli64 show
The controller ID is displayed in the
System Overview
section of the output, in the
Ctl
column.
