Volume management commands

Use the RAID Controller command line interface for the RAID controller to
perform administrative tasks for the device. This topic details the commands you
can use to manage your storage volumes.

add mirror

Use this command to add a mirror to an existing drive pool. Mirrors can only be
added to a RAID 0 pool. Drives must be added in pairs and must not have a
smaller capacity than the existing drives in the RAID 0 pool.
Important: This command requires you to end all application I/O processes and
shut down any active Blade servers in accordance with the recommended
non-concurrent practices. The add mirror command must complete before you
resume any application I/O processes. Depending on the size of the drives, add
mirror may take several hours to complete. If one of the Blade servers being shut
down is used as the RAID controller management node and has logical unit
numbers (LUNs) mapped to it, you must use an external Blade server to manage
the RAID subsystem.
Command arguments:
<CLI> add mirror -pool [POOL_NAME] -drives [ENCLOSURE]:[TRAY][ENCLOSURE]:[TRAY]..
Where:
v [POOL_NAME] - Specifies the name of the drive pool.
v [ENCLOSURE]:[TRAY] - Specifies the drive bay number by enclosure number and
Example:
<CLI> add mirror -pool Grp1 -drives 1:1 1:3
