Modifying iSCSI Virtual Drive Properties
■
On Oracle Solaris, raidconfig is not compatible with the raidctl CLI tool.
raidconfig supports SAS2, but the raidctl tool does not.
■
For servers running Oracle Solaris, after hot-plugging any device, run the devfsadm -C
command to reenumerate all of the system device nodes before running the raidconfig
command.
Caution - Changing the RAID configuration erases all the data on the affected drives, including
the OS. If you change the RAID configuration on a boot drive, you must reinstall the OS.
1.
Access the operating system command-line with root privileges.
For more information, see “Accessing the Host Console” on page 38 or “Accessing Oracle
Hardware Management Pack” on page 32.
2.
Use the raidconfig create raid command:
raidconfig create raid [--level level] [--stripe-size stripeSize] [--subarrays
sizeOfRAIDcomponents] [--name volumeName] [--subdisk-size size] -disks disks
