Purpose Command Description
To create a virtual disk
of a certain size with all
the default settings
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad= x:y,x:y,... -
sz=5GB
Creates a virtual disk of 5 GB size for type RAID 0.
RAID 0 is the default.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array disks in
<-ad=...> are obtained from the first two
commands.
To create a virtual disk
of a certain size and
make it RAID 1
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad= x:y,x:y -
sz=5GB -r=1
Creates a virtual disk of 5 GB size for type RAID 1.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array disks in
<-ad=...> are obtained from the first two
commands.
To create a virtual disk
of a certain size and
make it RAID 5
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad=
x:y,x:y,x:y,... -
sz=5GB -r=5
Creates a virtual disk of 5 GB size for type RAID 5.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array disks in
<-ad=...> are obtained from the first two
commands.
To create a virtual disk
of a certain size and
make it RAID 1 with a
hot spare
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad= x:y,x:y -
sz=5GB -r=1 -
fd=x:y
Creates a virtual disk of 5 GB size for type RAID 1.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array disks in
<-ad=...> are obtained from the first two
commands.
The option <-fd> stands for failover drive and
requires the drive location of the drive you want
the dedicated hot spare to be in. The drive location
is obtained from the second command.
To create a virtual disk
of RAID 10
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad=
x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y -
r=10
Creates a virtual disk of max size for type RAID 10.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array disks in
<-ad=...> are obtained from the first two
commands. The drive location is obtained from the
second command.
To create a virtual disk
of RAID 50
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad=
x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y ,x
:y,x:y -r=50 -sp=x
Creates a virtual disk of maximum size for type
RAID 50.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array disks in
<-ad=...> are obtained from the first two
commands. The drive location is obtained from the
second command.
To create a virtual disk
of RAID 6
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad=
x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y ,x
:y,x:y -r=6 -sp=x
Creates a virtual disk of maximum size for type
RAID 6.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array disks in
<-ad=...> are obtained from the first two
commands. The drive location is obtained from the
second command.
NOTE: The minimum number of drives
required to create a virtual disk of RAID 6 is 4.
To create a virtual disk
of RAID 60
raidcfg -ctrl -
ac=cvd -c=slotid -
ad=
x:y,x:y,x:y,x:y ,x
:y,x:y -r=60 -sp=x
Creates a virtual disk of maximum size for type
RAID 60.
The slot ID in <-c=slotid> and the array disks in
<-ad=...> are obtained from the first two
commands. The drive location is obtained from the
second command.
