Dell PowerVault MD3260i - Manual (Page 136)

Parameter Description
• Use an existing repository virtual disk name.
• Create a new repository virtual disk when you run
this command.
The name of an existing repository virtual disk is
comprised of two parts:
• The term repos.
• A four digit numerical identifier that you assign to
the repository virtual disk name.
Enclose the name of the existing repository virtual disk in
double quotation marks (" ").
If you want to create a new repository virtual disk when
you run this command you must enter the name of either a
disk group or a disk pool in which you want the repository
virtual disk. Optionally, you also can define the capacity of
the repository virtual disk. If you want to define the
capacity you can use these values:
• An integer value that represents a percentage of
the base virtual disk capacity.
• A decimal fraction value that represents a
percentage of the base virtual disk capacity.
• A specific size for the repository virtual disk. Size
is defined in units of bytes, KB, MB, GB, or TB.
If you do not use the capacity option, the MD storage
management software sets the capacity to 20 percent of
the base virtual disk capacity.
Enclose the name of the new repository virtual disk in
parenthesis ( ).
Autoconfigure Storage Array
Description
This command automatically configures a storage array. Before entering the autoConfigure storageArray
command, run 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.
