Command Line Interface Reference Guide
■ Specify SAVE_CONFIGURATION to store a copy of the controller
configuration on the container being initialized. A new controller can
retrieve information from a container containing configuration
information saved with the SAVE_CONFIGURATION switch. If you
specify SAVE_CONFIGURATION for a multi-device storageset, such as
a stripeset, the complete controller configuration information is stored on
each disk drive in the storageset.
■ A disk drive initialized with the SAVE_CONFIGURATION switch
specified has slightly less storage space available for user data.
■ Specify NOSAVE_CONFIGURATION if you do not want to store a copy
of the controller configuration on a container.
Examples
To initialize container DISK10000 and save a copy of the controller configuration
on it, enter:
INITIALIZE DISK10000 SAVE_CONFIGURATION
ADD UNIT D77 DISK10000
To initialize RAIDset RAID4 and to reserve an area for configuration information
on all the disks that constitute RAID4, enter:
INITIALIZE RAID4 SAVE_CONFIGURATION
To initialize stripeset STRIPE1 with the default chunk size, enter:
INITIALIZE STRIPE1
Note: Note that the chunk size is not specified, so the controller initializes the unit with
the default chunk size.
To initialize RAIDset RAID9 with a chunk size of 20, enter:
INITIALIZE RAID9 CHUNKSIZE=20
To initialize DISK40400 and preserve the data after it is removed (reduced) from
a mirrorset, enter:
REDUCE DISK40400
INITIALIZE DISK40400 NODESTROY
