ADD RAIDSET

Names a RAIDset and adds the RAIDset to the controller’s
configuration. DIGITAL RAIDsets are often referred to as RAID level
3/5 storagesets because they use the best characteristics of RAID level
3 and RAID level 5. The number of members in the storageset is
determined by the number of containers specified by the container-
name
parameter in the command. The data capacity of the RAIDset is
determined by the storage size of the smallest member.

Syntax

ADD RAIDSET RAIDset-name container-name1 container-name2
[container-nameN]

Parameters

RAIDset-name
Assigns a name to the RAIDset. This is the name used with the ADD
UNIT command to identify the RAIDset as a host-addressable unit.

The RAIDset name must start with a letter (A through Z) and may
consist of a maximum of nine characters including letters A through Z,
numbers 0 through 9, periods (.), dashes (-), or underscores (_).

Tip It is common to name a RAIDset RAIDn, where n is a
sequentially-assigned, unique identifier. This naming convention
presents the user with the type of container and its unique identifier.

container-name1 container-name2 [container-nameN]
Identifies the disks making up the RAIDset. RAIDsets must include at
least 3 disk drives and no more than 14.

Switches

POLICY=BEST_FIT
POLICY=BEST_PERFORMANCE (Default)
NOPOLICY
Set the selection criteria the controller uses to choose a replacement
member from the spareset when a RAIDset member fails.
