Adaptec SCSI RAID Software Reference Guide

container create raid5

To create a RAID-5 set, use the container create raid5
command. The RAID-5 set must have a minimum of three disks.
When creating the RAID-5 set, you must initialize the array parity
by using the scrub method (the /scrub switch).

Notes

If you created a RAID-5 set 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 set. See the free_space section on
page 3-8 for more information on how to specify the freespace.
{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.
See the scsi_device section on page 3-7 for more
information on how to specify the SCSI device.
