3 Subcommands

This chapter desscribes the subcommands.

Windows subcommands

The RAID Manager software provides subcommands for the Windows platforms that are executed
as options (-x <command> <arg>) of another command. When you specify a subcommand as the
only option of a command, you do not need to start HORCM. If another option of the command
and the subcommand are specified on the same command line, place the other option after the
subcommand.
The Windows subcommands are:

findcmddev

drivescan
portscan
sync
syncd
mount
umount
umountd
findcmddev
The findcmddev subcommand searches for command devices within the specified range of disk
drive numbers. If it is found, the command device appears in the same format as in the configuration
definition file. This subcommand is used when the command device name is not known and when
the HORCM is not started.
CAUTION:
NOTE: The findcmddev subcommand searches for the physical and logical drives associated
with the command device. If the command device is indicated as a logical drive in addition to a
physical drive, then a drive letter is assigned to the command device. You must delete the drive
letter assigned to the command device to prevent utilization by general users.
The "Volume{GUID}" must be made by setting a partition using the disk management without file
system format, and is used to keep as the same command device even though the physical drive
numbers are changed on every reboot in a SAN environment.

Syntax

-x findcmddev drive#(0-N)

Argument

drive#(0-N): Specifies the range of disk drive numbers on the Windows system.

Example

The following shows an example of the findcmddev subcommand used as an option of the raidscan
command and its output. This example searches for command devices in the range of disk drive
numbers 0 through 20.
106 Subcommands
The findcmddev subcommand must be used when HORCM is not running.
