pool a|b
Required for a virtual or read-cache disk group. Prohibited for a linear disk group. Specifies the name
of the virtual pool to contain the disk group. If the pool does not already exist, it will be created.
spare disks
Optional for a linear disk group. Prohibited for a virtual or read-cache disk group. Prohibited for
ADAPT. Specifies the IDs of 1-4 dedicated spares to assign to a RAID 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, or 50 disk group.
For disk syntax, see Command syntax on page 17. Only global spares are used for virtual disk groups.
type linear|virtual|read-cache
Required. Specifies the type of disk group to create.
● linear : A disk group for linear storage.
● virtual : A disk group for virtual storage.
● read-cache : A disk group for use as read cache for a virtual pool.
name
Optional for a virtual or read-cache disk group. Required for a linear disk group. Specifies a name for
the new disk group. The name must be unique system-wide. Input rules:
● The value is case sensitive.
● The value can have a maximum of 32 bytes.
● The value can include spaces and printable UTF-8 characters except: " , < \
● A value that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes.
If this parameter is omitted, the system will generate the name dgcontroller-ID# where # starts
at 01 for a virtual disk group, or rccontroller-ID for a read-cache disk group.
Examples
Add linear RAID-1 disk group dg1 with one spare.
# add disk-group type linear disks 1.20-21 level r1 spare 1.22 dg1
Add ADAPT linear disk group ALDG.
# add disk-group type linear disks 1.1-12 level adapt ALDG
Add a virtual RAID-6 disk group to pool A. The resulting group will have an auto-generated name.
# add disk-group type virtual disks 1.16-19 level r6 pool a
Add an ADAPT virtual disk group to pool B.
# add disk-group type virtual disks 2.1-12 level adapt pool b
Add a read-cache disk group to pool B. The resulting group will be named rcB.
# add disk-group type read-cache disks 1.18-19 pool b
