Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers Reference Guide

HP Array Configuration Utility 58
When moving the logical drive, you can choose one of the following destinations:
• An existing array
• A new array you create
To move a logical drive to an existing array, use the following information.
Syntax:
<target> modify [newarray=]
Command examples:
ctrl slot=1 ld 3 modify newarray=C
ctrl slot=1 ld 3 modify newarray=? // shows the available arrays
To move a logical drive and create a new array, use the following information.
Syntax:
<target> modify [drives=[#: ]#:#,[#: ]#:#,[#: ]#:#–[#: ]#:#,...]
Command examples:
ctrl slot=1 ld 3 modify drives=2e:1:1-2e:1:4
ctrl slot=1 ld 3 modify drives=? // shows the available drives
You can use the drivetype parameter to specify the drive interface type. When selecting all physical
drives, and multiple drive types exist, you must specify the drive interface type. Mixed drives are not allowed
on the same array or logical drives. If all drives on a controller are the same type, this parameter is not
needed.
For drivetype, use one of the following valid options:
[drivetype=sas | satalogical | sata | saslogical | parallelscsi | ss_sas |
ss_sata | ?]
Command examples:
controller slot=5 ld 1 modify drives=? drivetype=sas
controller slot=5 array A modify drives=? drivetype=ss_sas
Viewing enclosure information
The enclosure keyword is a valid target for the show command, and it outputs the storage enclosure
information.
Syntax:
enclosure [ all | port:box | serialnumber=xxx ] show [ detail | status ]
where the target can be any valid storage controller.
Example commands:
controller slot=5 enclosure all show
controller slot=5 enclosure 4E:1 show detail
controller slot=5 enclosure serialnumber=UAB123456 show status
Viewing physical drives for an HBA
The nonsa keyword shows the physical drives behind an HBA or "non-smart array."
Syntax:
<target> nonsa show [ssdinfo]
Command examples:
controller nonsa show
controller nonsa show ssdinfo
