=> ctrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=1I:1:2,1I:1:3 size=300 raid=?
The response in this case is:
Available options are:
0
1 (default value)
Now, create the new array:
=> ctrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=1:13,1:14 size=300 raid=1
It is not strictly necessary to specify the RAID level in this example because it is the highest possible level for
this scenario and will be used by default. However, it is included in the command as an example.
Now, verify that the array has been formed:
=> ctrl slot=0 pd all show
The screen response is:
HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 in Slot 0 (Embedded)
Array A
physicaldrive 1I:1:1 (port 1I:box 1:bay 1, SAS HDD, 2 TB, OK)
Array B
physicaldrive 1I:1:2 (port 1I:box 1:bay 2, SATA HDD, 6 TB, OK)
physicaldrive 1I:1:3 (port 1I:box 1:bay 3, SATA HDD, 6 TB, OK)
Unassigned
physicaldrive 1I:1:4 (port 1I:box 1:bay 4, SATA HDD, 6 TB, OK)
To create a second logical drive on array B, you can specify the array (method A) or you can specify every
physical drive in the array (method B).
=> ctrl slot=0 array B create type=ld size=900 (method A)
=> ctrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=1I:1:2,1I:1:3 size=900 (method B)
Finally, verify that the logical drives have all been created correctly:
=> ctrl slot=0 ld all show
HPE Smart Array P408i-a SR Gen10 in Slot 0 (Embedded)
Array A
logicaldrive 1 (2 TB, RAID 0, OK)
Array B
logicaldrive 2 (300.0 GB, RAID 0, OK)
logicaldrive 2 (900.0 GB, RAID 0, OK)
Moving a logical drive
SSA now enables you to move a single logical drive from one array to another array.
When moving the logical drive, you can choose one of the following destinations:
An existing array
A new array you create
To move a logical drive to an existing array, use the following information.
