[-s <physical drive id>]
[-c <capacity (GB)>]
In the following example, a logical drive is configured on the Smart Array Controller with the
device filename ciss5. The RAID level is set at 1, the stripe size is set at 64 KB, and two physical
disks (identified by 2I:1:13 and 2I:1:14) are configured as a logical drive. Another physical
disk (identified by 2I:1:15) is configured as a spare for that logical drive:
# saconfig /dev/ciss5 -R 1 -S 64 -p 2I:1:13 -p 2I:1:14 -s 2I:1:15
Logical drive 0 created
Rebuild Priority is set to High
Use the saconfig /dev/cissX command to confirm the configuration:
# saconfig /dev/ciss5

NOTE:
When RAID 1 is configured on two physical disks, the saconfig /dev/cissX command
output displays the RAID level as 1+0.
