Dell PowerVault MD3260i - Manual (Page 134)

• You can reuse an existing repository virtual disk if that repository virtual disk is empty and is not related to
another member virtual disk. You might want to do this if you want to maintain a particular sequence or
relationship for the repository virtual disks. To reuse an existing, empty repository virtual disk you need to know
the name of the repository virtual disk. To determine the name of the repository virtual disk, use the show
allVirtualDisks summary command. All repository virtual disk names have the form repos_XXXX
where XXXX is a unique identifier generated by the MD storage management software. An example of this
command usage is:
set consistencyGroup ["First_Images"] addCGMemberVirtualDisk="Data_020212"
repositoryVirtualDisk="repos_0011"
You can place the repository virtual disk in a disk group or a disk pool of your choosing. You are not required to have the
repository virtual disk in the same location as other repository virtual disks. To place the repository virtual disk in a disk
group or a disk pool of your choice, use the repositoryVirtualDisk parameter and identify the disk group or the
disk pool and a size for the repository virtual disk. An example of this command usage is:
set consistencyGroup ["First_Images"] addCGMemberVirtualDisk="Data_020212"
repositoryVirtualDisk=("12" capcity=2 GB)
In this example, "12" is the name of an existing disk group or an existing disk pool. The capacity parameter defines the
size that you want for the repository disk group.
When you create a new repository virtual disk in either a disk group or a disk pool, you must include parenthesis around
the disk group name and capacity, or the disk pool name and capacity.
Add Physical Disks To SSD Cache
Description
Use this command to increase the capacity of an existing Solid State Disk (SSD) cache by adding additional SSDs.
Syntax
set ssdCache [ssdCacheName]
addPhysicalDisks=(enclosureID1,drawerID1,slotID1 ...
enclosureIDn,drawerIDn,slotIDn)
Parameters
Parameter Description
ssdCache The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of the SSD
cache to which you want to add SSDs. Enclose the
identifier in square brackets ([ ]). If the SSD cache name
contains special characters or consists only of numbers,
you also must enclose the identifier in double quotation
marks (" ") inside square brackets.
addPhysicalDisks The physical disks that you want to add to the SSD cache.
For high-capacity expansion enclosures, specify the
enclosure ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID
value for each SSD that you want to add. For low-capacity
expansion enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value and
the slot ID value for each SSD that you want to add.
