First, determine what physical drives are available and what their properties are: => ctrl ch="Lab 4" pd all show For this sample scenario, the screen response is: MSA1000 at Lab 4 unassigned physicaldrive 1:12 (box 1:bay12, Parallel SCSI, 36.4 GB, OK) physicaldrive 1:13 (box 1:bay13, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK) physicaldrive 1:14 (box 1:bay14, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK) Knowing this information, you can now create the first array with one logical drive: => ctrl ch="Lab 4" create type=ld drives=1:12 Now, verify that the array has been created: => ctrl ch="Lab 4" pd all show In this case, the screen response is: MSA1000 at Lab 4 array A physicaldrive 1:12 (box 1:bay12, Parallel SCSI, 36.4 GB, OK) unassigned physicaldrive 1:13 (box 1:bay13, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK) physicaldrive 1:14 (box 1:bay14, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK) The second array is to be created on the two remaining physical drives. Before creating this array, determine what RAID options are available for these drives: => ctrl ch="Lab 4" create type=ld drives=1:13,1:14 size=300 raid=? The response in this case is: Available options are: 0 1+0 (default value) Now, create the new array: => ctrl ch="Lab 4" create type=ld drives=1:13,1:14 size=300 raid=1+0 It is not strictly necessary to specify the RAID level in this example because it is the highest possible level for this scenario and will be used by default. However, it is included in the command as an example. Now, verify that the array has been formed: => ctrl ch="Lab 4" pd all show The screen response is: MSA1000 at Lab 4 array A physicaldrive 1:12 (box 1:bay12, Parallel SCSI, 36.4 GB, OK) array B physicaldrive 1:13 (box 1:bay13, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK) physicaldrive 1:14 (box 1:bay14, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK) To create a second logical drive on array B, you can specify the array (method A) or you can specify every physical drive in the array (method B). => ctrl ch="Lab 4" array B create type=ld size=900 (method A) => ctrl ch="Lab 4" create type=ld drives=1:13,1:14 size=900 (method B) Finally, verify that the logical drives have all been created correctly: HP Array Configuration Utility 64

First, determine what physical drives are available and what their properties are:
=> ctrl ch="Lab 4" pd all show
For this sample scenario, the screen response is:
MSA1000 at Lab 4
unassigned
physicaldrive 1:12 (box 1:bay12, Parallel SCSI, 36.4 GB, OK)
physicaldrive 1:13 (box 1:bay13, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK)
physicaldrive 1:14 (box 1:bay14, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK)
Knowing this information, you can now create the first array with one logical drive:
=> ctrl ch="Lab 4" create type=ld drives=1:12
Now, verify that the array has been created:
=> ctrl ch="Lab 4" pd all show
In this case, the screen response is:
MSA1000 at Lab 4
array A
physicaldrive 1:12 (box 1:bay12, Parallel SCSI, 36.4 GB, OK)
unassigned
physicaldrive 1:13 (box 1:bay13, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK)
physicaldrive 1:14 (box 1:bay14, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK)
The second array is to be created on the two remaining physical drives. Before creating this array,
determine what RAID options are available for these drives:
=> ctrl ch="Lab 4" create type=ld drives=1:13,1:14 size=300 raid=?
The response in this case is:
Available options are:
0
1+0 (default value)
Now, create the new array:
=> ctrl ch="Lab 4" create type=ld drives=1:13,1:14 size=300 raid=1+0
It is not strictly necessary to specify the RAID level in this example because it is the highest possible level
for this scenario and will be used by default. However, it is included in the command as an example.
Now, verify that the array has been formed:
=> ctrl ch="Lab 4" pd all show
The screen response is:
MSA1000 at Lab 4
array A
physicaldrive 1:12 (box 1:bay12, Parallel SCSI, 36.4 GB, OK)
array B
physicaldrive 1:13 (box 1:bay13, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK)
physicaldrive 1:14 (box 1:bay14, Parallel SCSI, 9.1 GB, OK)
To create a second logical drive on array B, you can specify the array (method A) or you can specify
every physical drive in the array (method B).
=> ctrl ch="Lab 4" array B create type=ld size=900 (method A)
=> ctrl ch="Lab 4" create type=ld drives=1:13,1:14 size=900 (method B)
Finally, verify that the logical drives have all been created correctly:
