Command Line Interface

Creating a RAID 1

To create a RAID 1, use the

container

create

new_mirror

command. In the following example, a RAID 1 is created on
devices

0:02:0

and

0:03:0

using 100 MB of available space from

each device.

AAC0> container create new_mirror ((0,2,0), 100M) (0,3,0)
Executing: container create new_mirror ((CHANNEL=0,ID=2,LUN=0),104,857,600 )
(CHANNEL=0,ID=3,LUN=0)

Creating a RAID 5

When you create a RAID 5, you use a form of redundancy called
parity. When you set up parity, the parity stripes are initialized, by
default, using a scrub switch (

/scrub=TRUE

). Parity is set up in the

background, and the disks are available immediately.

Linux/UNIX only:

The

/scrub

switch is not available in Linux.

For Linux, the RAID 5 is always created by building.

The stripe size can be 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 and 1024; the default
is 256 KB. Note that you can change the stripe size later using the

container

reconfigure

command.

To create a RAID 5, use the

container

create

raid5

command. In

the following example, a RAID 5 is created on devices

0:01:0

,

0:02:0

, and

0:03:0

using 100 MB of available space from each

device:

AAC0> container create raid5 /stripe_size=64K ((0,1,0), 100M) (0,2,0) (0,3,0)
Executing: container create raid5 /stripe_size=65,536
((CHANNEL=0,ID=1,LUN=0),104,857,600) (CHANNEL=0,ID=2,LUN=0)
(CHANNEL=0,ID=3,LUN=0)

Deleting an Array

To delete an array, use the

container

delete

command. In the

following example, Array 0 is deleted.

AAC0> container delete 0
Executing: container delete 0

After running the

container

delete

command, use the

container

list

command to verify that the array was deleted. In the

following example, no arrays are found on the controller.

AAC0> container list
Executing: container list
No containers found.
