Set Array

This command defines the properties for an array.

Syntax

set array [arrayName] addDrives=(enclosureID1,slotID1 ... enclosureIDn,slotIDn) raidLevel=(0 | 1 | 3 | 5 | 6) owner=(a | b)

Parameters
Parameter Description

array

The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of the array for which you want to set properties. Enclose the array identifier in square brackets ([ ]).

addDrives

The disk drive, by enclosure and slot location, that you want to include in the array. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99. Slot ID values are 1 to 32. Enclose the enclosure ID values and the slot ID values in parentheses.

raidLevel

The RAID level for the array. Valid values are 0, 1, 3, 5, or 6.

owner

The controller that owns the array. Valid controller identifiers are a or b, where a is the controller in slot A, and b is the controller in slot B. Use this parameter only if you want to change the array owner.
Notes

Host I/O errors might result in arrays with more than 32 logical drives. This operation also might result in internal controller reboots because the timeout period ends before the array definition is set. If you experience this issue, quiesce the host I/O operations, and try the command again.

When you use this command, you can specify one or more of the parameters.


Important:

Specifying the addDrives parameter or the raidLevel parameter starts a long-running operation that you cannot stop.

Minimum Firmware Level

6.10

7.10 adds RAID 6 capability.

7.30 removes the availability parameter.
