saconfig <dev_file> command, as described in
“Displaying the Smart Array controller configuration”
(page 45).
[-s <physical drive id>] Configures a physical disk as a spare. The physical disk is
identified by Connector/Enclosure/Bay or WWID. Obtain
this information from the output of the saconfig
<dev_file> command, as described in “Displaying the
Smart Array controller configuration” (page 45).
[-c <capacity (GB)>] Specifies the size in GB of the logical drive to be created.
If this option is omitted, the maximum capacity or the
remaining capacity is applied to the logical drive.
In the following example, a logical drive is configured on the Smart Array Controller with the
device filename ciss5. The RAID level is set at 1, the stripe size is set at 64 KB, and two physical
disks (identified by 2I:1:13 and 2I:1:14) are configured as a logical drive. Another physical
disk (identified by 2I:1:15) is configured as a spare for that logical drive:
# saconfig /dev/ciss5 -R 1 -S 64 -p 2I:1:13 -p 2I:1:14 -s 2I:1:15
Logical drive 0 created
Rebuild Priority is set to High
Use the saconfig /dev/cissX command to confirm the configuration:
# saconfig /dev/ciss5
