Working with Disksets

Creating a Diskset

You use the

disk_set create

command to create a diskset. When

you create a diskset, you specify the disks that are to comprise the
diskset. Only disksets, not individual disks, can be attached to a
controller in a cluster environment. See the Flexible Storage Array Tool
User’s Guide
for information on diskset concepts. Once a diskset has
been created, it must be attached to a controller before it can be used.
See Attaching a Diskset on page 5-18 for information on attaching a
diskset.

Before creating a diskset, use the

disk_set list

command to

display information about your disksets, as in the following
example. In the example, the columns are blank, indicating that no
diskset exists. Note that the example alters the

disk_set list

output so that the data can fit on the page.

HPN0> disk_set list

Executing: disk_set list

To create a diskset, use the

disk_set create

command with the

/label

switch, as in the following example. In the example, a

diskset is created using SCSI devices (2,0,0) and (2,1,0). The /label
switch assigns Saturn as the diskset label. The command assigns the
diskset a Diskset ID of 0x01be868c1d74a640 and an Ownership ID
of \\.\HPN0.

HPN0> disk_set create /label=Saturn (2,0,0) (2,1,0)

Executing: disk_set create /label="Saturn"

(CHANNEL=2,ID=0,LUN=0) (CHANNEL=2,ID=1,LUN=0)
