Configuring a Storage Array
53
Using the Auto Configure Command
The
autoConfigure storageArray
command creates the disk groups on a
storage array, the virtual disks in the disk groups, and the hot spares for the
storage array. When you use the
autoConfigure storageArray
command,
define the following parameters:
• Type of physical disks (Serial Attached SCSI [SAS] or Serial Advanced
Technology Attachment [SATA])
• RAID level
• Number of physical disks in a disk group
• Number of disk groups
• Number of virtual disks in each disk group
• Number of hot spares
• Size of each segment on the physical disks
After defining these parameters, the MD Storage Manager automatically
creates the disk groups, virtual disks, and hot spares. The RAID controller
modules assign disk group and virtual disk numbers as they are created. After
MD Storage Manager creates the initial configuration, you can use the
set
virtualDisk
command to define virtual disk labels.
Before running the
autoConfigure storageArray
command, run the
show
storageArray autoConfigure
command. The
show storageArray
autoConfigure
command returns a list of parameter values that MD Storage
Manager uses to create a storage array. Change any of the parameter values by
entering new values for the parameters when you run the
autoConfigure
storageArray
command. If you are satisfied with the parameter values that the
show storageArray autoConfiguration
command returns, run the
autoConfigure storageArray
command without new parameter values.
The following syntax is the general form of
autoConfigure storageArray
command:
autoConfigure storageArray [physicalDiskType=
(SAS | SATA) raidLevel=(0 | 1 | 5 | 6) |
diskGroupWidth=
numberOfPhysicalDisks
|
diskGroupCount=
numberOfDiskGroups
|
virtualDisksPerGroupCount=
numberOfVirtualDisksPerGroup
| hotSpareCount=
numberOfHotspares
| segmentSize=
segmentSizeValue
