2. Add storagesets by using commands similar to the following:
CLI> ADD STRIPESET container-name container-name1 ...
CLI> ADD RAIDSET container-name container-name1 ...
CLI> ADD MIRRORSET container-name container-name1 ...
For example:
CLI> ADD STRIPESET STRIPE0 DISK0 DISK1 DISK2 DISK3
CLI> ADD RAIDSET RAID99 DISK4 DISK5 DISK6
CLI> ADD MIRRORSET MIRR1 DISK7 DISK8 DISK9
Refer to Chapter 6 and Appendix B for examples for adding storagesets. If
you do not need storagesets for your configuration, skip this step.
3. Enter the INITIALIZE command to initialize containers (devices or
storagesets) prior to using them for host units. Refer to Section 5.3 for
details about initializing transportable and nontransportable disk drives and
CD–ROMs.
CLI> INITIALIZE container-name
For example:
CLI> INITIALIZE DISK0
CLI> INITIALIZE STRIPE0
CLI> INITIALIZE RAID99
CLI> INITIALIZE MIRR1
CAUTION
The INITIALIZE command destroys all host-accessible data on the
container. Refer to the Appendix B INITIALIZE command section of
this manual for specific requirements for using this command.
When initializing a single disk drive container, if the NOTRANSPORTABLE
qualifier was specified (or allowed to default) on the ADD DISK or SET disk-
name commands, a small amount of disk space is made inaccessible to the
host and used for metadata. However, if the TRANSPORTABLE qualifier
was specified, any metadata is destroyed on the device and the full device is
accessible to the host. Refer to Appendix B for details of when initializing is
required and when it is not required.
4. Add the units that use either the devices directly or the storagesets built from
the devices by entering the following command at the CLI> prompt:
CLI> ADD UNIT logical-unit-number container-name
For example: ADD UNIT D300 DISK0
ADD UNIT D200 RAID99
where:
logical-unit-number is the unit number the host uses to access the device.
container-name identifies the device or the storageset.
