Dell PowerVault MD3420 - Manual (Page 107)

This example shows how to use the command in a script file:
activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryRAIDLevel=5
repositoryPhysicalDisks=(1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 1,5);
Activating The Remote Replication (Legacy) Premium Feature With Software-Assigned
Physical Disks
With this version of the activate storageArray feature= remoteReplication command, you
choose an existing disk group in which to place the replication repository virtual disk. The MD storage
management software then determines which physical disks to use. You can also define how much space
to assign to the replication repository virtual disk. Because you are using an existing disk group, the RAID
level for the replication repository virtual disk defaults to the RAID level of the disk group in which you
place it. You cannot define the RAID level for the replication repository virtual disk.
The command takes this form:
activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryDiskGroup=diskGroupNumber
[freeCapacityArea=freeCapacityIndexNumber]
This example shows a command in which the software assigns the physical disks:
c:\...\smX\client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89
-c “activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryDiskGroup=2 freeCapacityArea=2;”
The command in this example creates a new replication repository virtual disk in disk group 2 using the
second free capacity area.
This example shows how to use the command in a script file:
activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryDiskGroup=2 freeCapacityArea=2;
Activating The Remote Replication (Legacy) Premium Feature By Specifying A Number Of
Physical Disks
With this version of the activate storageArray feature= remoteReplication command, you
must specify the number of physical disks and the RAID level that you want for the replication repository
virtual disk. This version of the command creates a new disk group. For this command to work, you must
have physical disks in the storage array that are not assigned to a disk group.
activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryRAIDLevel=(1 | 5 | 6)
repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=numberOfPhysicalDisks
[physicalDiskType=(SAS)]
[enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)]
This example shows a command in which you specify the number of physical disks:
c:\...\smX\client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89
-c “activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryRAIDLevel=5 repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=5
physicalDiskType=SAS;”
The command in this example creates a new replication repository virtual disk by using five software-
selected physical disks for the replication repository virtual disk. The replication repository virtual disk has
RAID Level 5. The type of physical disk for the replication repository virtual disk is SAS.
This example shows how to use the command in a script file:
activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryRAIDLevel=5 repositoryCount=5
physicalDiskType=SAS;
