Example 4 – Create a RAID 0 with two drives:
The format of the CREATE command is
sas2ircu <controller #> create <volume type> <size> <Encl:Bay> [Volume Name] [noprompt]
where <controller #> is:
A controller number between 0 and 255.
where <volume type> is:
The type of the volume to create and is either RAID1 (or)
RAID1E (or) RAID0 (or) RAID10.
where <size> is:
The size of the RAID volume in Mbytes or 'MAX' for the maximum size available.
where <Encl:Bay> is:
A list of Encl:Bay pairs identifying the disk drives you
wish to include in the volume being created. If the volume type is
'RAID1', the first drive will be selected as the primary and the
second as the secondary drive.
For a type 'RAID1' volume exactly 2 disks must be specified.
For a type 'RAID1E' volume min of 3 disks must be specified.
For a type 'RAID0' volume min of 2 disks must be specified.
For a type 'RAID10' volume min of 4 disks must be specified.
where [Volume Name] is an optional argument that can be used
to identify a Volume with a user specified Alpha-numeric string
where noprompt is an optional argument that eliminates
warnings and prompts
