# saconfig /dev/ciss4 -D 0
Deleting logical drive 0 will cause gap
saconfig (/dev/ciss4): Current driver state is READY
# saconfig /dev/ciss4 -D 1
Deleting logical drive 1 will cause gap between logical drives 0 and 2
saconfig (/dev/ciss4): Current driver state is READY
Example 4 Deleting multiple logical drives in reverse drive number order
# saconfig /dev/ciss4 -D 2
Are you sure you want to delete logical drive 2 on SmartArray RAID controller
/dev/ciss4? (y/[n]): y
Logical drive 2 deleted
# saconfig /dev/ciss4 -D 1
Are you sure you want to delete logical drive 1 on SmartArray RAID controller
/dev/ciss4? (y/[n]): y
Logical drive 1 deleted
# saconfig /dev/ciss4 -D 0
Are you sure you want to delete logical drive 0 on SmartArray RAID controller
/dev/ciss4? (y/[n]): y
Logical drive 0 deleted
Clearing the logical drive configuration
WARNING!
Array Controller is lost when you enter the saconfig /dev/cissX -D all command.
To clear all logical drives that are configured from the physical disks attached to a Smart Array
Controller, use the saconfig /dev/cissX -D all command.
For example:
# saconfig /dev/ciss7 -D all
Are you sure you want to clear configuration on
SmartArray RAID controller /dev/ciss7? (y/[n]): y
Logical drive 0 deleted
Logical drive 1 deleted
Configuration cleared
Adding a spare disk drive
To add a spare physical disk to an existing logical drive, use the saconfig /dev/cissX -A
<Logical drive #> -s <physical drive id> command.
For example:
# saconfig /dev/ciss5
Spare drive 2I:1:16 added to Logical drive 0
You can add multiple spare physical disks to a logical drive, depending on the number of physical
disks in the array that are not in use.
Deleting a spare disk drive
To delete a spare physical disk from an existing logical drive, use the saconfig /dev/cissX
-D <Logical Drive #> -s <physical drive id> command.
For example:
# saconfig /dev/ciss5
Spare drive 2I:1:16 deleted from Logical drive 0
The following example deletes all spare disks of logical drive 0 at once:
# saconfig /dev/ciss7 -D 0 -s all
All spare drives are deleted from logical drive 0
50
Configuration
All data on the logical drives and the physical disks connected to the specified Smart
A 0
s 2I:1:16
D 0
s 2I:1:16
