The following rules apply when using this command: • This command only applies to HP StorageWorks 2012fc and 2012i G1 storage systems. • The vdisk has only one volume • The volume is not yet mapped • You must specify all controller ports. For example, to assign the vdisk to controller 0 with 2 ports, you must specify the following: associate port 0-0,0-1 • CREATE LUN [SIZE=] [DRIVES=,[,..]][STRIPESIZE=][NOERR] - Creates a new vdisk or creates a volume on an existing vdisk. can be simple, stripe, mirror, raid (NRAID, RAID0, RAID1/10, RAID5, RAID6 and, for Windows 2008 only, RAID50). STRIPESIZE is ignored. NOTE: Specifying RAID5 on a Windows 2003 host results in a RAID6 volume being created as Windows Server 2003 does not support a distinction between RAID5 and RAID6. See Table 1 on page 9 for more information. • DELETE LUN - Deletes a volume on an existing vdisk. If the volume is the last one on the vdisk, the vdisk itself is also deleted. • DETAIL - Displays the detailed information of the specified device. • EXTEND LUN size= - Increases the size of the volume by the specified value. • EXTEND LUN DRIVES=,[,.] - Adds drives to the vdisk on which the volume resides. After the drives are added to the vdisk, the selected LUN is expanded by the value specified in the size parameter; if no size is specified, the LUN is expanded to fill the entire available size in the vdisk. CAUTION: Virtual disk expansion cannot be stopped and can take days to complete, depending on drive type, RAID level, and other factors. Use the Storage Management Utility (SMU) to view information about the vdisk size and the expansion's progress (vdisk-name > View > Overview).

3.
To verify the installation, run the
list providers
command, and make sure that the MSA2000
Family VDS Hardware Provider is displayed in the list of providers.
If the MSA2000 Family VDS Hardware Provider does not appear in the list of providers, reboot the host to
reinitialize the VDS subsystem.
Supported Microsoft DiskRaid Commands
DiskRaid is a command-line utility from Microsoft that enables you to configure and manage your storage
after the MSA2000 Family VDS Hardware Provider is installed. This section contains a list of supported
Microsoft DiskRaid commands.
ASSOCIATE
– Specifies which controller owns a vdisk by associating a LUN to a port. The following
rules apply when using this command:
This command only applies to HP StorageWorks 2012fc and 2012i G1 storage systems.
The vdisk has only one volume
The volume is not yet mapped
You must specify all controller ports. For example, to assign the vdisk to controller 0 with 2 ports,
you must specify the following:
associate port 0-0,0-1
CREATE LUN <TYPE> [SIZE=<N>] [DRIVES=<N>,<N>[,..]][STRIPESIZE=<N>][NOERR]
– Creates a new vdisk or creates a volume on an existing vdisk.
<TYPE>
can be simple, stripe, mirror,
raid (NRAID, RAID0, RAID1/10, RAID5, RAID6 and, for Windows 2008 only, RAID50).
STRIPESIZE
is ignored.
NOTE:
Specifying RAID5 on a Windows 2003 host results in a RAID6 volume being created as
Windows Server 2003 does not support a distinction between RAID5 and RAID6. See
Table 1
on page 9
for more information.
DELETE LUN
– Deletes a volume on an existing vdisk. If the volume is the last one on the vdisk, the
vdisk itself is also deleted.
DETAIL
– Displays the detailed information of the specified device.
EXTEND LUN size=<N>
– Increases the size of the volume by the specified value.
EXTEND LUN DRIVES=<N>,<N>[,.]
– Adds drives to the vdisk on which the volume resides. After
the drives are added to the vdisk, the selected LUN is expanded by the value specified in the
size
parameter; if no size is specified, the LUN is expanded to fill the entire available size in the vdisk.
CAUTION:
Virtual disk expansion cannot be stopped and can take days to complete, depending on drive
type, RAID level, and other factors. Use the Storage Management Utility (SMU) to view information about
the vdisk size and the expansion’s progress (
