Activate Storage Array Firmware This command activates firmware previously downloaded to the pending configuration area in the RAID controller modules in the storage array. Syntax activate storageArray firmware Parameters None Autoconfigure Storage Array This command automatically configures a storage array. Before entering the autoConfigure storageArray command, run the show storageArray autoConfiguration command. The show storageArray autoConfiguration command returns configuration information in the form of a list of valid physical disk types, RAID levels, virtual disk information, and hot spare information. (This list corresponds to the parameters for the autoConfigure storageArray command.) The RAID controller modules audit the storage array and then determine the highest RAID level that the storage array can support and the most efficient virtual disk definition for the RAID level. If the configuration described by the returned list is acceptable, enter the autoConfigure storageArray command without any parameters. To modify the configuration, change a single parameter or all of the parameters to meet your configuration requirements. After entering the autoConfigure storageArray command, the RAID controller modules set up the storage array using either the default parameters or those you selected. Syntax autoConfigure storageArray physicalDiskType=(SAS) raidLevel=(0 | 1 | 5 | 6) diskGroupWidth=numberOfPhysicalDisks diskGroupCount=numberOfDiskGroups virtualDisksPerGroupCount=numberOfVirtualDisksPerGroup hotSpareCount=numberOfHotSpares segmentSize=segmentSizeValue cacheReadPrefetch=(TRUE | FALSE) securityType=(none | capable | enabled)] Parameters Parameter Description physicalDiskType Type of physical disks to use for the storage array. Valid physical disk type is Serial Attached SCSI (SAS). This parameter is not required if only one type of physical disk is in the storage array. raidLevel RAID level of the disk group that contains the physical disks in the storage array. Valid RAID levels are 0, 1, 5 or 6. diskGroupWidth Number of physical disks in a disk group in the storage array. For information about the number of physical disks that you can use in a disk group, see Enclosure Loss Protection. 99
