arcconf create
Creates a new logical drive or JBOD. You must provide the channel and device ID of the physical
devices.
On redundant logical drives, ARCCONF performs autosynchronization.
ARCCONF presents JBODs as physical devices, not logical drives.
Syntax
ARCCONF CREATE <Controller#> LOGICALDRIVE [Options] <Size> <RAID#> <CHANNEL#
DRIVE#> [CHANNEL# DRIVE#] ... [noprompt]
ARCCONF CREATE <Controller#> LOGICALDRIVE RVOLUME <LD#> <LD#> [LD#] ... [noprompt]
ARCCONF CREATE <Controller#> JBOD
<CHANNEL# DRIVE#> [CHANNEL# DRIVE#] ...
[noprompt]
Parameters
Controller# is the controller number
Logical Drive indicates the logical drive stripe size with the following options:
●
Stripesize <STRIPE>—Allows the logical drive stripe size to be built. Optional parameters
for specifying a stripe size. STRIPE is specified in kilobytes 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 and
1024 are supported. The default is 256KB.
●
Legs <LEG>—Optional parameters for specifying number of legs. Value is an integer.
●
LEG—Number of legs for RAID level 50 or 60.
●
RAID 50—2-16 legs, 3-32 drives/leg, 128 drives max.
●
RAID 60—2-16 legs, 4-16 drives/leg, 128 drives max.
●
Name <NAME>—Optional parameter for specifying the alias name of a logical device that
is displayed in the utilities. Value is a string of up to 16 characters.
●
Priority <PRIORITY>—Initialization Priority for logical drive to be created. Valid options
are: HIGH, MED, or LOW.
●
Method <METHOD>—Initialization method for the logical drive. Valid options include:
BUILD, CLEAR, QUICK, SKIP.
●
Rcache—The parameter to set the logical drive read cache.
●
RON - read cache on
●
ROFF - read cache off
●
Wcache—The parameter to set the logical drive write cache.
●
WT - write-through disabled
●
WB - write-back enabled
●
WBB - write-back enabled (when protected by a battery)
●
MaxIQcache—The parameter to set the logical drive MaxIQ cache.
●
ION - MaxIQ cache on
●
IOFF - MaxIQ cache off
Size indicates the size of the logical drive in megabytes. Use MAX to set size to available space.
RAID# indicates the RAID level for the new logical drive. 0, 1, 1E, 10, 5, 5EE, 50, 6, 60, and
volume are supported.
