Diagnose Raid Controller Module - Dell PowerVault MD3260 Cli Manual

Parameter
retainRepositoryMembers
Notes
When you use the allVirtualDisks parameter, this command deletes virtual disks until all of the virtual disks are
removed or until an error is encountered. If an error is encountered, this command does not try to delete the remaining
virtual disks. Deleting virtual disks from different disk groups is possible. All of the disk groups that become empty are
deleted if you set the removeDiskGroup parameter to TRUE.

Diagnose RAID Controller Module

This command runs diagnostic tests on the RAID controller module.
The testID parameter takes the following options, which you can use to verify that a RAID controller module is
functioning correctly:
• 1 — Reads the test
• 2 — Performs a data loop-back test
• 3 — Writes the test
The diagnostic tests consist of loop-back tests in which data is written to physical disks and read from the physical
disks.

repository virtual disk is retained. For normal virtual disks,
this parameter has no effect.
