Adaptec Storage Management Software User's Guide -z Specify logical drive stripe size Specifies the stripe size (in KB) for new RAID 0 and RAID 5 logical drives. Valid stripe sizes are: 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 (KB). This switch is ignored for RAID 1. If omitted, a default stripe size is used. The default is selected by the controller firmware based on the number of drives in the array. Example: To set the stripe size on the logical drive at d0b0t0d0 to 64 KB, type raidutil -z64 -g d0b0t0d0 Array Modification -E Expand disk array This command enables you to add additional capacity to an existing RAID 5 disk array. Specify an existing logical drive array and one or more additional hard drives after the -E command. This command switch is valid only for Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT, systems using the NTFS file system. raidutil -E d0b0t0d0 d0b0t4d0,d0b0t4d0 Where d0b0t0d0 is the RAID 5 disk array and d0b0t4d0, d0b0t4d0 are two drives you want to add to the array. -f Force array state Forces an array to an Optimal or Failed status. The following command forces the device at address d1b1t0d0 to an Optimal status: raidutil -f optimal d1b1t0d0 The following command forces the device at address d1b1t0d0 to a Failed status: raidutil -f fail d1b1t0d0 4-6

Array Modification
-E Expand disk array
This command enables you to add additional capacity to an
existing RAID 5 disk array. Specify an existing logical drive array
and one or more additional hard drives after the -E command. This
command switch is valid only for Windows XP, Windows 2000,
Windows NT, systems using the NTFS file system.
raidutil -E d0b0t0d0 d0b0t4d0,d0b0t4d0
Where d0b0t0d0 is the RAID 5 disk array and d0b0t4d0, d0b0t4d0
are two drives you want to add to the array.
-f Force array state
Forces an array to an Optimal or Failed status.
The following command forces the device at address d1b1t0d0 to
an Optimal status:
raidutil -f optimal d1b1t0d0
The following command forces the device at address d1b1t0d0 to a
Failed status:
raidutil -f fail d1b1t0d0
