Autoconfigure Storage Array
This command automatically configures a storage array. Before entering the
autoConfigure storageArray command, enter 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.
