raidconfig Features

raidconfig allows you to explore, monitor, and configure storage resources connected to the system.

Note:

To use raidconfig on storage in a system, the controller that the storage is connected to must support RAID. For a list of supported controllers, see the support matrix at: https://www.oracle.com/goto/ohmp.

raidconfig provides the following functions:

• Shows, creates, deletes, and modifies RAID volumes.

• Facilitates scripting by using command-line options.

• Configures many similar and dissimilar platforms in a data center.

• Displays the current RAID configuration and writes it to an XML file so it can be edited and used to configure the same or a different platform.

• Represents a logical disk in a portable manner.

  For example, using a unique enumeration per controller, instead of a SAS address, facilitates moving the XML file to other platforms.

• Provides a super-set of all configuration options provided by the Adaptec and LSI CLI commands.

• Uses capability checking for particular adapters based on data retrieved from the API.

• Creates nested RAID volumes depending on the controller.
