Dell PowerVault MD3420 - Manual (Page 144)

Parameter Description
• The term repos.
• A four digit numerical identifier that you assign
to the repository virtual disk name.
Enclose the name of the existing repository virtual
disk in double quotation marks (" ").
If you want to create a new repository virtual disk
when you run this command you must enter the
name of either a disk group or a disk pool in which
you want the repository virtual disk. Optionally, you
also can define the capacity of the repository
virtual disk. If you want to define the capacity you
can use these values:
• An integer value that represents a percentage
of the base virtual disk capacity.
• A decimal fraction value that represents a
percentage of the base virtual disk capacity.
• A specific size for the repository virtual disk.
Size is defined in units of bytes, KB, MB, GB, or
TB.
If you do not use the capacity option, the MD
storage management software sets the capacity to
20 percent of the base virtual disk capacity.
Enclose the name of the new repository virtual disk
in parenthesis ( ).
Autoconfigure Storage Array
Description
This command automatically configures a storage array. Before entering the autoConfigure
storageArray command, run the show storageArray autoConfiguration command. The show
storageArray autoConfiguration command returns configuration information in the form of a list
of valid physical disk types, RAID levels, virtual disk information, and hot spare information. (This list
corresponds to the parameters for the autoConfigure storageArray command.)
The RAID controller modules audit the storage array and then determine the highest RAID level that the
storage array can support and the most efficient virtual disk definition for the RAID level. If the
configuration described by the returned list is acceptable, enter the autoConfigure storageArray
command without any parameters. To modify the configuration, change a single parameter or all of the
parameters to meet your configuration requirements. After entering the autoConfigure
storageArray command, the RAID controller modules set up the storage array using either the default
parameters or those you selected.
