HSG80 Array Controller V8.7 Command Line Interface Reference Guide
CLI Command Descriptions
Names a disk drive and adds it to the controller configuration. This command is
typically used when disk drives are added to a previously configured subsystem.
During initial setup, the entire disk set is customarily added to the controller’s
configuration by issuing the RUN CONFIG command.
NOTE: The controller supports a maximum of 84 physical storage devices, even though more
than 84 target IDs are available. Do not exceed the maximum number of physical devices in the
subsystem.
Syntax
ADD DISKS disk-name scsi-port-target-lun
Parameters
The following parameters are required for the ADD DISKS command:
•
disk-name
•
scsi-port-target-lun
These parameters are described in the following paragraphs:
disk-name
Assigns a name to the disk device. This disk-name can then be used with the ADD
UNITS command to create a logical unit, or a parameter in the adding of a
storageset.
The disk-name may consist of a maximum of nine printable characters excluding
commas and back-slashes.
A disk drive is commonly named DISKpttll, where pttll is the disk
Port-Target-LUN address. Although other naming conventions are acceptable, this
naming convention presents the type of disk drive and the disk drive SCSI
location.
scsi-port-target-lun
Indicates the SCSI device PTL address. Place at least one space between the port
number, target number, and the LUN number when entering the PTL address.
•
port—Designates the SCSI device port number, from 1 to 6, on which the disk
resides.
