Increase Virtual Disk Capacity On A Disk Pool This command defines the properties for a virtual disk. You can use most parameters to define properties for one or more virtual disks. You also can use some parameters to define properties for only one virtual disk. The syntax definitions are separated to show which parameters apply to several virtual disks and which apply to only one virtual disk. The syntax for virtual disk mapping is listed separately. NOTE: In configurations where disk groups consist of more than 32 virtual disks, the operation can result in host I/O errors or internal RAID controller module reboots due to the expiration of the timeout period before the operation completes. If you experience host I/O errors or internal RAID controller module reboots, bring the host to a quiescent state I/O and try the operation again. Syntax Applicable to One or More Virtual Disks start increaseVolCapacity virtualDisk = virtualDiskName incrementalCapacity = incrementalCapacity [addDrives = (drive-spec-list)] Parameters Parameter Description addPhysicalDisks The setting to add new physical disks to the virtual disk. For high-capacity expansion enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID value for the physical disk. For low-capacity expansion enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value and the slot ID value for the physical disk. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99. Drawer ID values are 0 to 4. Slot ID values are 0 to 31. Enclose the enclosure ID value, drawer ID value, and the slot ID value in parentheses. Use this parameter with the addCapacity parameter if you need to specify additional physical disks to accommodate the new size. Load Storage Array DBM Database This command uploads a Database Management (DBM) database image from a file or from cache. This command restores a storage array DBM database to the exact configuration that existed when the database image was captured using the save storageArray dbmDatabase command. The data in a file can be just RAID configuration data or all data, including data for RAID configuration, disk groups and disk pools. The data in a cache location always includes all data. Before using this command with the file option, you must first obtain a validator string (a security code) from your Technical Support representative. To obtain a validator, use the save storageArray dbmValidator command to generate an XML file that contains validator information. Syntax load storageArray dbmDatabase ((file="filename" validator="validatorValue") | sourceLocation=onboard) [controller [(0|1)]] [contentType=(raidConfigration | all)] Parameters 144
