Which creates the array, gives it the next letter, then creates a logicaldrive and sets it up as RAID 1.Īfter running a ctrl all show config detail I realised that it had created my RAID set with the default stripe size of 256. This is what I did, using “help create” i was able to work out the syntax.Ĭtrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=1I:1:3,1I:1:4 raid=1 The CLI can, if you wish, do them both at the same time. it’s just that the web gui you may be used to, guides you through creating the array and then immediately creating the logical drive. Now remember that building an array and creating a logical drive are two separate things. The drives, within the “show details” statement, which I had recently plugged into the server, were showing up as 1I:1:3 and 1I:1:4. Now I could issueĪnd pull out exactly the same information, thus proving ctrl slot=0 was my controller, and is used within all subsequent commands.
This told me that the controller installed within my server was in slot=0. Using help show I was able to view the details of the controllers and the drives. Within a terminal/SSH session/DOS session Luckily my colleague had installed the suite of HP tools into Ubuntu, so HPACUCLI was available to me.
The server could NOT be rebooted, so I could not configure the array, as I would during BOOT. I faced a situation this week, where I needed to build a new array on a live server, running Ubuntu 10.04.
