Step 4D: Create RAID Arrays using CLI (Windows / Linux / FreeBSD)
Start your operating systems console such as command prompt (Windows). On the
command line, type hptraidconf to start HighPoint CLI.
In order to see the devices connected to the controller, type
query devices
.
The device ID gives the position of each drive and is needed to select which drive will
be included in the array.
To create a 4 disk RAID 5 array named Tutorial_Array input the following command:
HPT CLI > create RAID5 name=Tutorial_Array disks=1/1,1/2,1/3,1/4
To view the created array, type
query arrays
.
For more HighPoint CLI information type help in the command line or refer to the
documentation included in the software package.
