raidconfig Command Syntax

The raidconfig commands use the following command syntax:

raidconfig subcommand target|task -option(s)

When a command fails, it returns one of several failure codes listed in raidconfig Error Codes.

The options shown in the following table apply to all CLI Tools commands including raidconfig.

Short Option	Long Option	Description
-?, -h	--help	Displays help information.
-V	--version	Displays the tool version.
-q	--quiet	Suppresses informational message output and only returns error codes.
-y	--yes	Confirms operation. Does not prompt user for confirmation on the operation when running.

The raidconfig command requires subcommands unless used with the --help or --version options.

The following table lists the raidconfig subcommands.

Subcommand	Function
list	Lists information on controllers, RAID volumes and disks, including disks not in a RAID volume. Specific devices can be selected for display.
create	Creates a RAID volume.
delete	Deletes a RAID volume.
add	Adds a specified disk or spare.
remove	Removes a specified disk or spare.
modify	Modifies a RAID volume or a disk.
start	Starts a maintenance task.
stop	Stops a maintenance task.
restore	Finds the RAID configuration saved on a disk and restores it.
clear	Clears the RAID configuration saved on the disks of a defined controller.
export	Generates an XML file from a RAID configuration.
import	Reads in a RAID configuration from an XML file and creates RAID volumes and spares.

Whenever devices (controllers, RAID volumes, and disks) are used with commands, they must be uniquely identified. For information on how to do so, see the device-naming scheme at CLI Tools Device-Naming Convention.

Device naming is shared with other CLI Tools based on the storage library.
