4. Assign the mirrorset a unit number to make it accessible by the hosts. See “Assigning
Unit Numbers and Unit Qualifiers” on page 5–21.
For example:
The commands to create Mirr1, a mirrorset with two members (DISK10000 and
DISK20000), and to initialize it using default switch settings:
ADD MIRRORSET MIRR1 DISK10000 DISK20000
INITIALIZE MIRR1
SHOW MIRR1
Configuring a RAIDset
1. Create the RAIDset by adding its name to the controller's list of storagesets and by
specifying the disk drives it contains. Optionally, you can specify RAIDset switch
values:
ADD RAIDSET RAIDSET-NAME DISKNNNNN DISKNNNNN DISKNNNNN SWITCHES
NOTE: See the ADD RAIDSET command in the Compaq StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller
ACS Version 8.6 CLI Reference Guide for a description of the RAIDset switches.
2. Initialize the RAIDset, specifying any desired switches:
INITIALIZE RAIDSET-NAME SWITCH
NOTE: Compaq recommends that you allow initial reconstruct to complete before allowing I/O
to the RAIDset. Not doing so may generate forced errors at the host level. To determine whether
initial reconstruct has completed, enter SHOW RAIDSET FULL.
See “Initialization Switches” on page 2–25 for a description of the initialization
switches.
3. Verify the RAIDset configuration:
SHOW RAIDSET-NAME
4. Assign the RAIDset a unit number to make it accessible by the hosts. See “Assigning
Unit Numbers and Unit Qualifiers” on page 5–21.
For example:
The commands to create RAID1, a RAIDset with three members (DISK10000,
DISK20000, and DISK10100) and to initialize it with default values:
ADD RAIDSET RAID1 DISK10000 DISK20000 DISK10100
INITIALIZE RAID1
SHOW RAID1
