the database image are completed on the controllers.

Modify Disk Pool

Description

This command adds capacity to a disk pool or changes the RAID controller module ownership for the
entire disk pool. These two operations are mutually exclusive.

Syntax

set diskPool [diskPoolName]

((addDrives=[enclosureID1,drawerID1,slotID1 ... enclosureIDn,drawerIDn,slotIDn]

| addCapacity=(addCapacityValue[KB|MB|GB|TB|Bytes])) | owner=(0 | 1))

Parameters

Parameter

Description

addDrives

Identifies multiple physical disks to add to the disk
pool. Each disk pool must be created from a
minimum of 11 physical disks specified. There is no
upward limit of physical disks supported in a single
disk pool, but the number cannot exceed the
number of physical disks supported on the storage
array.

addCapacity

Use the addCapacity parameter to specify the
amount of storage and automatically select
physical disks to meet that capacity.

owner

The RAID controller module that owns the disk
pool. Valid RAID controller module identifiers are 0
or 1, where 0 is the RAID controller module in slot
0, and 1 is the RAID controller module in slot 1. If
you do not specify an owner, the RAID controller
module firmware determines the owner.
