Start or Stop a Task on a Disk or RAID Volume

The start task and stop task subcommands control the execution of maintenance tasks on a disk or RAID volume. For more information on available tasks and options, see Executing Tasks on a Disk or RAID Volume.

• To start or stop a task on a disk or RAID volume, type:

  raidconfig start task -t taskname [-d|-r]

  or

  raidconfig stop task -t taskname [-d|-r]

  The following are command examples for the start task and stop task subcommands:

  • A RAID ID must be provided for the verify check (verify) and initialization task (init).

    • To start the verify task on a specified RAID volume, type:

      raidconfig start task -t verify -r=raidvolume

      For example:

      raidconfig start task -t verify -r=c0r1

    • To stop the init task on a specified RAID volume, type:

      raidconfig stop task -t init -r=raidvolume

      For example:

      raidconfig stop task -t init -r=c0r1

  • A disk must be provided for the rebuild and clear tasks.

    • To start the rebuild task on a specified disk, type:

      raidconfig start task -t rebuild -d=disk

      For example:

      raidconfig start task -t rebuild -d=c0d1

      ---

      Note -  This can only be run on a disk that is part of a RAID volume.

      ---

    • To start the clear task on a specified disk, type:

      raidconfig start task -t clear -d=disk

      For example:

      raidconfig start task -t clear -d=c0d1

      ---

      Note -  This can only be run on a disk that is not part of a RAID volume.

      ---

  • Source and destination disks must be provided for the copy task.

    To start the copy task from one disk to another, type:

    raidconfig start -task -t copy --src-disk=source_disk --dst-disk=destination_disk

    For example:

    raidconfig start -task -t copy --src-disk=c0d2 --dst-disk=c0d3

    ---

    Note -  The source disk must be in a RAID volume. The destination disk cannot be in a RAID volume.
