Creating Storagesets 3–55
Configuring Storagesets with CLI Commands
One method of configuring storagesets is manual configuration. This
method allows you the most flexibility in defining and naming
storagesets. See Appendix B, “CLI Commands,” for complete
information about the CLI commands shown in this chapter.
Adding Disk Drives
The factory-installed devices in your StorageWorks subsystem have
already been added to the controller’s list of eligible devices. If you
want to add new devices to your subsystem, you must issue one of the
following CLI commands before you can use them in any kind of
storageset, single disk unit, or spareset:
Adding One Disk Drive at a Time
To add one new disk drive to your controller’s list of eligible devices,
enter the following command at the prompt:
ADD DISK DISK nnn ptl-location switch_value
Adding Several Disk Drives at a Time
To add several new disk drives to your controller’s list of eligible
devices, enter the following command at the prompt:
RUN CONFIG
Configuring a Stripeset
See “Using Striped Mirrorsets for Highest Performance and
Availability,” page 3–17, for information about creating a profile and
understanding the switches you can set for this kind of storage unit.
To configure a stripeset:
1. Create the stripeset by adding its name to the controller’s list of
storagesets and specifying the disk drives it contains. Use the following
command:
ADD STRIPESET stripeset-name DISK nnnnn DISK nnnnn
2. Initialize the stripeset. If you want to set any Initialize switches, you
must do so in this step. Use the following command:
INITIALIZE stripeset-name switch
