F.3 Adding a Hardware RAID Volume
F.3 Adding a Hardware RAID Volume
Use the sas2ircu create command to add a hardware RAID volume to the system.
In the following example, a RAID1E (Mirroring Extended) volume named "RAID1E-VOL" is created for disk drives which are equipped with disk slots 2, 3, and 4 (entire areas of disks) of the SPARC M10-1.

After adding a hardware RAID volume, check the hardware RAID volume and the disk drive information by executing the sas2ircu display command.
Check the following information.
Check the following information.
(1): IR Volume information
(1-1): Confirm that the new RAID volume (volume ID:285) is created as defined in the sas2ircu create command, and the status of the RAID volume is "Okay (OKY)."
(2): Physical device information
(2-1) (2-2) (2-3): Confirm that the status of the disk drives of disk slots 2, 3, and 4, which are newly incorporated into the RAID volume, is "Optimal (OPT)."
