Configure RAID (Oracle Hardware Management Pack)
The Oracle Hardware Management Pack raidconfig tool allows you to configure RAID in band from the operating system command line.
Before You Begin
-
Verify that your HBA is supported for your server, and review Oracle's recommendations for drive slot population and virtual drive creation. See your server documentation for details.
-
Ensure that you have root permission on UNIX-based platforms or administrator privileges on Windows.
-
On Oracle Solaris, raidconfig is not compatible with the raidctl CLI tool. raidconfig supports SAS2, but the raidctl tool does not.
-
For servers running Oracle Solaris, after hot-plugging any device, run the devfsadm -C command to reenumerate all of the system device nodes before running the raidconfig command.
This command does not support some configurations. For details, see:
http://www.oracle.com/goto/ohmp/docs
-
From the operating system command line, type:
raidconfig subcommand
where subcommand is one of:
-
