arcconf create
Creates a new logical drive. You must provide the channel and device ID of the physical devices.
On redundant logical drives, ARCCONF performs autosynchronization.
Syntax
ARCCONF CREATE <Controller#> LOGICALDRIVE [Options] <Size> <RAID#> <CHANNEL# ID#>
[CHANNEL# ID#] ... [noprompt]
ARCCONF CREATE <Controller#> LOGICALDRIVE RVOLUME <LD#> <LD#> [LD#] ... [noprompt]
Parameters
Controller# is the controller number
Logical Drive indicates the logical drive stripe size with the following options:
Stripesize <STRIPE>—Allows the logical drive stripe size to be built. Optional parameters
for specifying a stripe size. STRIPE is specified in kilobytes 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 and
1024 are supported.The default is 256KB.
Legs <LEG>—Optional parameters for specifying number of legs. Value is an integer.
LEG—Number of legs for RAID level x0
RAID 50/60—2 - 16 legs, 3 - 16 drives/leg, 48 drives max
Name <NAME>—Optional parameter for specifying the alias name of a logical device that
is displayed in the utilities. Value is a string of up to 16 characters.
Priority <PRIORITY>—Initialization Priority for logical drive to be created. Valid options
are: HIGH, MED, or LOW.
Method <METHOD>—Initialization method for the logical drive. Valid options include:
BUILD, CLEAR, QUICK.
Rcache—The parameter to set the logical drive read cache.
RON - read cache on
ROFF - reach cache off
Wcache—The parameter to set the logical drive write cache.
WT - write-through disabled
WB - write-back enabled
WBB - write-back enabled (when protected by a battery)
Size indicates the size of the logical drive in megabytes. Use MAX to set size to available space.
RAID# indicates the RAID level for the new logical drive. 0, 1, 1E, 10, 5, 5EE, 50, 6, 60, and
volume are supported.
Channel# ID# lists the space-delimited channel number and device number pairs for each
device to add to the logical drive.
Rvolume is the RAID level for a RAID volume logical drive.
LD# is the logical drive numbers for two or more logical drives to be concatenated into the
RAID volume.
Example
ARCCONF CREATE 1 LOGICALDRIVE STRIPESIZE 64 MAX 0 1 0 1 1 1 2 NOPROMPT
