Create a “custom” three- to six-disk mirrored volume, including an
optional hot spare (
/rte
option, followed by
/c
for SCSI controller and
/t
for each disk).
Note:
You must list the
/rte
option first to indicate that the volume
will have three or more mirrored disks.
A.4.1
Command Line Options
This section lists and explains all the DOS-based CU command line
options that are used to create, delete, and reconfigure an IM volume.
See
Section A.4.4, “Examples of Command Line Usage,” page A-8
, for
examples of how to create various IM configurations.
A.4.1.1
Create Options
/c –
SCSI controller number. Same as boot adapter order number. You
can get the order number from the MPTBIOS banner that appears
during boot. The controller number (order number) appears in the
HBA column.
/t –
SCSI target ID. For a three-disk configuration, first
/t
is primary
disk, second is secondary disk, third is optional hot spare. The hot
spare is always specified as the last
/t
option.
/hs –
Hot spare. The value of the last
/t
option specified is the SCSI ID
designated as the hot spare.
/rte –
Raid type. Use this option only if you are creating a mirrored
volume with three to six mirrored disks (or three to five mirrored
disks and a hot spare disk). Do
not
use this option if you are
creating a mirrored volume with
two
mirrored disks and an
optional hot spare disk.
/sz –
IM volume size (Mbytes), up to 2097151 Mbytes
/so –
Volume settings override, 1 to 4 hex digits. This option applies to
the current volume only. See
Section A.4.1.7, “Volume Setting
Definitions.”
