Examples

For the examples given here, assume that the following items of hardware are available
in the system:

v

A RAID Manager named ssa0

v

Four SSA physical disks named pdisk0, pdisk1, pdisk2, and pdisk3

Example 1: To Create a RAID-0 Array

This example shows how to use three SSA physical disks to create a RAID-0 array. The
attributes of the disks are all set to their default values.

Type the command:

> ssaraid -C -l ssa0 -t raid_0 -s pdisk0 pdisk1 pdisk2 -d

where:

-C

specifies that this operation is a create operation.

-l ssa0

specifies that RAID Manager ssa0 is to be used.

-t raid_0

specifies that a RAID-0 array object is to be created.

-s pdisk...

specifies the free pdisk that is to become the member disk of the new

array.

-d

specifies that a system disk is to be attached to the new array.

Example 2: To Create a RAID-1 Array

This example shows how to use two SSA physical disks to create a RAID-1 array. The
attributes of the disks are all set to their default values.

Type the command:

> ssaraid -C -l ssa0 -t raid_1 -s pdisk0 pdisk1 -d

where:

-C

specifies that this operation is a create operation.

-l ssa0

specifies that RAID Manager ssa0 is to be used.

-t raid_1

specifies that a RAID-1 array object is to be created.

-s pdisk...

specifies the free pdisk that is to become the member disk of the new

array. RAID-1 arrays provide support for only two member disk drives. The first disk
drive that is specified becomes the primary member disk drive.

-d

specifies that a system disk is to be attached to the new array.
