container create raid5
To create a RAID 5 array, use the container create raid5
command. The RAID 5 array must have a minimum of three disks.
When creating the RAID 5 array, you must initialize the array
parity by using the scrub method (the /scrub switch).
Notes
If you created a RAID 5 array you can run the list devices
command on the NetWare console to verify its creation and then
create the necessary NetWare disk partitions and volumes.
For information on how to create partitions and volumes, see the
appropriate NetWare documentation.
Syntax
container create raid5 [/cache{=boolean}]
[/clear{=boolean}] [/stripe_size{=integer}]
[/label{=string}] [/scrub{=boolean}]
[/wait{=boolean}] {free_space} [{scsi_device}...]
Parameters
{free_space}
Specifies the SCSI device and its associated freespace used to
create the RAID 5 array.
For further details, see
{scsi_device}...
Specifies one or more SCSI devices. A SCSI ID consists of a
SCSI bus number (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.), SCSI device ID (0 through
15 inclusive), and SCSI device logical unit number (0 through 7
inclusive). See the installation guide for your controller to
determine the number of buses it actually supports.
For further details, see
The command uses the freespace(s) from the SCSI device(s)
you specify to create the RAID 5 array. The size that the
command uses from these device(s) is identical to the one you
specify in the free_space parameter. The minimum number
of partitions in a RAID 5 array is 3, and the maximum number
of partitions is 16.
