• To convert the physical disk drives and assign or delete a
hotspare. To scan physical disks connected to a controller and
detect problem, run the following command:
racadm storage converttononraid:<PD FQDD>
racadm storage converttoraid:<PD FQDD>
-mdtype <metadataType>
racadm storage hotspare:<Physical Disk
FQDD> -assign yes -type dhs -vdkey: <FQDD
of VD>
racadm storage hotspare:<Physical Disk
FQDD> -assign yes –type ghs
racadm storage hotspare:<Physical Disk
FQDD> -assign no
racadm storage patrolread:<controller
FQDD> -state start|stop
NOTE:
If the –assign option is no, you cannot add
other options. If the –assign option is yes and if the
-type option is not present, the global hotspare
(ghs) is created by default.
• To reset, clear, and import the storage configuration to the
controller, run the following command:
racadm storage importconfig:<Controller
FQDD>
racadm storage resetconfig:<Controller
FQDD>
racadm storage clearconfig:<Controller
FQDD>
• To start or stop a blink or identify operation on the specified or
PCIeSSD device, run the following command:
racadm storage blink:<FQDD>
racadm storage blink:<PCIeSSD FQDD>
racadm storage unblink:<FQDD>
racadm storage unblink:<PCIeSSD FQDD>
NOTE:
The Start or Stop a Blink feature is not
supported for HHHL PCIe SSD devices.
• To prepare the PCIeSSD drive for removal, run the following
command:
racadm storage preparetoremove <PCIeSSD
FQDD>
NOTE:
The Prepare to Remove task is not supported
for HHHL PCIe SSD devices.
• To perform a secure erase operation on PCIeSSD device, run
the following command:
racadm storage secureerase:<PCIeSSD FQDD>
NOTE:
You can also run the command using raid in
place of the storage command.
