Managing Failover Options And Hot Spares - Adaptec RAID 21610SA Installation And User Manual

The stripe size can be 16, 32, or 64 KB. The default stripe size is
64 KB. Note that you can use the container reconfigure command
at a later time to change the stripe size.
To create a RAID 5, use the container create raid5 command. In
the following example, a RAID 5 is created on devices 0:01:0, 0:02:0,
and 0:03:0 using 100 MB of available space from each device. The
/stripe_size switch specifies that each stripe contains 64 KB, which
is the default if you specify do not specify /stripe_size at all.
AAC0> container create raid5 /stripe_size=64K ((0,1,0), 100M) (0,2,0) (0,3,0)
Executing: container create raid5 /stripe_size=65,536
((CHANNEL=0,ID=1,LUN=0),104,857,600) (CHANNEL=0,ID=2,LUN=0)
(CHANNEL=0,ID=3,LUN=0)
Deleting an Array
To delete an array, use the container delete command. In the
following example, Array 0 is deleted.
AAC0> container delete 0
Executing: container delete 0
After running the container delete command, use the container
list command to verify that the array was deleted. In the
following example, no arrays are found on the controller.
AAC0> container list
Executing: container list
No containers found.

Managing Failover Options and Hot Spares

To assign one or more hot spares to a single array, use the
container set failover command. To assign one or more spare
disks for all arrays, use the container set global_failover
command. These commands enable you to add hot spares to an
array prior to a drive failure so that the array contains the resources
it needs to survive a failure.
