Parameter
Parameter Description
addPhysicalDisks The setting to add new physical disks to the virtual disk.
For high-capacity expansion enclosures, specify the
enclosure ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID
value for the physical disk. For low-capacity expansion
enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value and the slot ID
value for the physical disk. Enclosure ID values are 0 to
99. Drawer ID values are 0 to 4. Slot ID values are 0 to
31. Enclose the enclosure ID value, drawer ID value, and
the slot ID value in parentheses. Use this parameter with
the addCapacity parameter if you need to specify
additional physical disks to accommodate the new size.
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.
Load Storage Array DBM Database
Description
This command uploads a Database Management (DBM) database image from a file or from cache. This command
restores a storage array DBM database to the exact configuration that existed when the database image was captured
using the save storageArray dbmDatabase command. The data in a file can be just RAID configuration data or
all data, including data for RAID configuration, disk groups and disk pools. The data in a cache location always includes
all data.
Before using this command with the file option, you must first obtain a validator string (a security code) from your
Technical Support representative. To obtain a validator, use the save storageArray dbmValidator command
to generate an XML file that contains validator information.
