HSG80 Array Controller V8.7 Command Line Interface Reference Guide
CLI Command Descriptions
Names a RAIDset and adds the RAIDset to the controller configuration. RAIDsets can
contain from 3 to 14 members.
NOTE: The maximum size of a RAIDset is 1.024TB
StorageWorks RAIDsets are RAID level 3/5 storagesets that use the best
characteristics of RAID level 3 and RAID level 5. A RAIDset should contain only
disk drives of the same capacity. The controller limits the effective capacity of each
member to the capacity of the smallest member in the storageset (base member size)
when the storageset is initialized. Thus, if you combine 9 GB disk drives with 4 GB
disk drives in the same storageset, you will waste 5 GB of capacity on each 9 GB
member. A RAIDset must include at least 3 disk drives, but no more than 14.
Syntax
ADD RAIDSETS RAIDset-name disk-name1 disk-name2 disk-name3 [disk-nameN]
Parameters
The following parameters are available to the ADD RAIDSETS command:
•
RAIDset-name
•
disk-name
These parameters are described in the following paragraphs:
RAIDset-name
Assigns a name to the RAIDset. This is the name used with the ADD UNITS
command to identify the RAIDset as a host-addressable unit.
The RAIDset-name may consist of a maximum of nine printable characters
excluding commas and back-slashes.
It is common to name a RAIDset RAIDn, where n is a sequentially assigned,
unique identifier. This naming convention presents the user with the type of
container and its unique identifier.
disk-name1 disk-name2 disk-name3 [disk-nameN]
Identifies the disks making up the RAIDset. RAIDsets must include at least 3
containers and no more than 14.
