A sample
<VdiskConfig>
file follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <SharedStorageConfig> <!-- A CheckHealthStatus is optional. If one is not provided, PM&C will assume the value to be ON. If CheckHealthStatus is ON, PM&C includes storage health status checks in its error checking, and may not proceed with the configuration if problems are found. --> <CheckHealthStatus>OFF</CheckHealthStatus> <VdiskConfig> <Controllers> <!-- Provide the IP addresses (or names that resolve to IP addresses) of one or more Controllers here. The configuration in this file will be applied to each controller listed. At least one <Controller> must be provided, prior to the VDisks section. Specify only one Controller per Controller Enclosure. Each Controller Enclosure has two Controllers, but they are a redundant pair. Applying the same configuration to both would attempt to configure the Controller Enclosure twice. --> <Controller>10.240.6.150</Controller> <Vdisks> <Vdisk> <!-- This is the name by which the Vdisk will be specified when configuring HostVolumes. --> <Name>Vdisk1</Name> <!-- The Owner is the Controller (A or B) within the Controller Enclosure that will be used for this Vdisk. Vdisks may be assigned to different Controllers to achieve static load balancing between the Controllers. If one Controller in a redundant pair fails, ownership of its Vdisks will be taken over by the surviving controller. --> <Owner>A</Owner> <RaidLevel>5</RaidLevel> <!-- Disks are specified in form "Enclosure.Bay" as in the following examples: MSA2012: Enclosure 0 (controller enclosure): Disks 0.0..0.X Enclosure 1 (drive enclosure): Disks 1.0..1.X Enclosure 2 (drive enclosure): Disks 2.0..2.X MSA2324, P2000 and newer: Enclosure 0 (controller enclosure): Disks 1.1..1.X Enclosure 1 (drive enclosure): Disks 2.1..2.X Enclosure 2 (drive enclosure): Disks 3.1..3.X --> <Disks> <Disk>0.0</Disk> <Disk>0.1</Disk> <Disk>0.2</Disk> <Disk>0.3</Disk> </Disks> <SpareDisks> <Disk>0.4</Disk> </SpareDisks> </Vdisk> <Vdisk> <Name>Vdisk2</Name> <Owner>B</Owner> <RAIDlevel>5</RAIDlevel> <Disks> <Disk>0.5</Disk> <Disk>0.6</Disk> <Disk>0.7</Disk> <Disk>0.8</Disk> </Disks> <SpareDisks> <Disk>0.9</Disk> </SpareDisks> </Vdisk> </Vdisks> <!-- Global Spares are spare disks not assigned to any particular Vdisk. --> <GlobalSpares> <Disk>0.10</Disk> <Disk>0.11</Disk> </GlobalSpares> </Controllers> </VdiskConfig> </SharedStorageConfig>
