is used to specify [slba] [elba] options for raidvchkset command.

C:\HORCM\Tool>inqraid -CLI -gplbaex hd10,13
Harddisk10 : SLBA = 0x0000003f ELBA = 0x013fe5d9 PCNT = 1 [OPEN-V ]
Harddisk11 : SLBA = 0x00000022 ELBA = 0x013fffdf PCNT = 2 [OPEN-V ]
Harddisk12 : SLBA = 0x00000022 ELBA = 0x013fffdf PCNT = 3 [OPEN-V ]

SLBA: displays usable starting LBA in units of 512 bytes

ELBA: displays usable ending LBA (ELBA -1) in units of 512 bytes

Directory mount facility for Windows systems

The attached mountvol command into Windows supports the directory mount, but it does not
support the directory mount function that flushes the system buffer associated to a logical drive
such as in UNIX systems. The directory mount structure on Windows is only symbolical link between
a directory and Volume{guid}, illustrated in

Directory mount structure (page 192)

below. As such,

RAID Manager supports the function to discover the mounted volumes by a directory, and supports
the operation to mount/unmount with the subcommand option.

Figure 66 Directory mount structure

Volume discovery for directory mounted volume: RAID Manager can discover the directory mounted
volume by using $LETALL that shows the relationship between logical drive and the physical volumes.
The KEY WORD ($LETALL)can also be used with the raidscan -findand mkconf commands.

D:\HORCM\etc>inqraid $LETALL -CLI
DEVICE_FILE PORT SERIAL LDEV CTG H/M/12 SSID R:Group PRODUCT_ID
D:\Vol2\Dsk7 - - - - - - - DDRS-34560D

D:\hd2\Vol9\Dsk1 CL2-F 61459 449 - s/s/ss 0005 1:01-01 OPEN-3
G:\Dms1\Dsk2 CL2-K 61456 256 - s/s/ss 0005 1:01-11 OPEN-3
G:\Dms1\Dsk3 CL2-K 61456 257 - s/s/ss 0005 1:01-11 OPEN-3

Subcommand for directory mounted volume: RAID Manager supports the directory mount with the
-x mount

,-x unmount,-x sync option so that the directory mount can be used to

mount/unmount the S-VOL.

Mount and Sync used Volume{GUID} for Windows: RAID Manager supports the mountcommand
option specified in the device object name, such as \Device\Harddiskvolume X. Windows
changes the device number for the device object name after recovering from a failure of the
PhysicalDrive. As a result, the mountcommand specified in the device object name may fail.
