Add a Disk to a RAID Configuration

The add disk subcommand adds a specified disk to a RAID configuration.

Only certain RAID levels, such as RAID 5 or 6, allow disks to be added to their configuration when in a non-degraded (healthy) state. Only RAID levels that support redundancy allow disks to be added.

• To add a specific disk to a RAID volume, type:

  # raidconfig add disk -d disk -r raidvolume

  For example:

  # raidconfig add disk -d c0d2 -r c0r1

  ---

  Note -  If you list the disk's properties after adding a disk, the RAID ID is not updated to reflect that it has been added to a RAID volume until the add process is complete.

  The add disk subcommand requires the options shown in the following table.

  Short Option Long Option Description –d –-disks Specifies the list of disks that you want to add to the RAID volume. –r –-raid Specifies the RAID volume ID number to which you want to add the disk.
