MegaCLI CfgEachDskRaid0 Command Does Not Work Correctly (CR 7121867)

The CfgEachDskRaid0 command has two problems when run in the preboot CLI:

• It assigns newly created logical volumes in apparently random order.

• It sometimes fails to create all volumes.

These problems only occur when the command is run in the preboot environment. Normally, you only configure a single boot volume in the preboot CLI.

Workaround

1. Run the following command to determine your enclosure number:

   -pdlist -a0 | more
   Adapter #0
   
   Enclosure Device ID: 252
   Slot Number: 0

   ---

   Note -  The typical enclosure number is 252, unless there are more than eight drive slots.

   ---

2. Use the CfgLdAdd command to build RAID volumes for each disk. For example:

   -CfgLdAdd -r0[252:0] -a0
   -CfgLdAdd -r0[252:1] -a0
   -CfgLdAdd -r0[252:2] -a0
   -CfgLdAdd -r0[252:3] -a0

   ---

   Note -  If your enclosure number is not 252, substitute your enclosure number in these commands.
