Dell PowerVault MD3260i - Manual (Page 224)

• User-defined disk group
• User-defined number of physical disks
If you choose to define a number of physical disks, the RAID controller module firmware chooses which physical disks
to use for the replication repository virtual disk.
Syntax
User-Defined Physical Disks
recreate storageArray replicationRepository
repositoryRAIDLevel=(1 | 5 | 6)
repositoryPhysicalDisks=(enclosureID1,slotID1... enclosureIDn,slotIDn)
repositoryDiskGroupUserLabel=[diskGroupName]
[enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)]
User-Defined Disk Group
recreate storageArray replicationRepository
repositoryDiskGroup=diskGroupName
[freeCapacityArea=freeCapacityIndexNumber]
User-Defined Number of Drives
recreate storageArray replicationRepository
repositoryRAIDLevel=(1 | 5 | 6)
repositoryPhysicalDiskCount=numberOfPhysicalDisks
[enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)]
Parameters
Parameter Description
repositoryRAIDLevel The RAID level for the replication repository virtual disk.
Valid values are 1, 5, or 6.
repositoryPhysicalDisks The physical disks for the replication repository virtual
disk. Specify the enclosure ID and slot ID for each
physical disk that you assign to the replication repository
virtual disk. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99. Slot ID
values are 1 to 32. Enclose the enclosure ID values and
the slot ID values in parentheses.
repositoryDiskGroup The name of the disk group where the replication
repository virtual disk is located.
freeCapacityArea The index number of the free space in an existing disk
group that you want to use to re-create the replication
repository virtual disk. Free capacity is defined as the free
capacity between existing virtual disks in a disk group. For
example, a disk group might have the following areas:
virtual disk 1, free capacity, virtual disk 2, free capacity,
virtual disk 3, free capacity. To use the free capacity
following virtual disk 2, you would specify:
freeCapacityArea=2
Run the show diskGroup command to determine if a
free capacity area exists.
