CLI Command Descriptions
63HP StorageWorks HSG60 and HSG80 Array Controller and Array Controller Software
Command Line Interface Reference Guide
Names a disk drive and adds it to the controller configuration. This command is
typically used if disk drives are added to a previously configured subsystem.
During initial setup, the entire disk set is customarily added to the controller
configuration by issuing the RUN command for the CONFIG utility.
Note: The controller supports a maximum of 84 physical storage devices (excluding
those in BA370 enclosures), even though more than 84 target IDs are available. Do
not exceed the maximum number of physical devices in the subsystem. BA370
enclosures support up to 72 physical devices.
Note: Before adding new disk drives to a subsystem that presents units to host systems
that use Microsoft Windows operating systems, you must add the disk to the array and
then issue the INITIALIZE container-name command with the DESTROY_MBR
switch for all new disks drives. This action eliminates the MBR block that is
factory-written on new disk drives before they are shipped from HP. Failure to destroy
the MBR block of new factory-shipped disks can cause a Windows host system to
create two partitions: an 8 MB partitioned drive and a physical drive.
