raidconfig provides exploration, monitoring, and configuration of on-board (local disks) and external storage resources (JBODs) connected to the system. It uses a set of storage libraries to access specific information about the host system. These libraries and packages are distributed and installed automatically with raidconfig. Supported components of raidconfig include those devices supported by the library. raidconfig is supported on Linux, the Solaris OS, and Windows platforms. raidconfig is capable of the following functions:
Shows, creates, deletes, and modifies RAID volumes.
Facilitates scripting by using command-line options.
Configures many similar and dissimilar platforms in a data center. This is accomplished by the ability to read from an XML file based on a command-line option. The XML file can be edited to fit various platform configurations. The tool allows the configuration to be easily written to a file in XML format.
Displays the current RAID configuration and writes it to an XML file so it can be edited and used to configure the same or a different platform.
Represents a logical disk in a portable manner. For example, using a unique enumeration per controller, instead of a SAS address, facilitates moving the XML file to other platforms.
Provides a super-set of all configuration options provided by the Adaptec and LSI CLI commands.
Uses capability checking, for example, on supported RAID types, for particular adapters based on data retrieved from the API.
raidconfig has the following restrictions:
You must be in root permission level to run raidconfig commands on Unix-based platforms, or Administrator permission level for Windows platforms.
raidconfig cannot create nested RAID volumes (a RAID volume as part of another RAID volume).
On Oracle Solaris, raidconfig is not compatible with the raidctl CLI tool. (raidconfig supports SAS2, but the raidctl tool does not.)
