Configuring ADM from CLI?

lpiwowarek — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 22:37:43 GMT

Hi,

Trying to create logical drive with ADM enabled from hpacucli:

=> ctrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=1I:2:1,1I:2:2,1I:2:3,1I:2:4,2I:2:5,2I:2:6 size=307200 raid=adm

Error: "raid=adm" is not a valid option for array A

Available options are:
   raid 0
   raid 1+0
   raid 1+0 (adm)
   raid 5
   raid 6 (adg)
   raid 50 (default value)

=> ctrl slot=0 create type=ld drives=1I:2:1,1I:2:2,1I:2:3,1I:2:4,2I:2:5,2I:2:6 size=307200 raid=1+0 (adm) 

Error: Syntax error at "(adm)"

I know this works from HPACU in Intelligent Provisioning (this is a DL380p Gen8) but I am trying to avoid having to reboot the system. Using raid=1+0 creates plain RAID10 array with 3 mirrors.

Do you have the proper licensing and hardware to enable ADM?

ADM requires Smart Array Advanced Pack 2.0 (SAAP2) licensing and a flash backed write cache hardware module on a P222, P420, P420i, or P421.

If you have a P721m/2G or P822/2G controller, the licensing and cache module are already included.

If you do, use "raid=1+0adm" as the flag. (No space between "1+0" and "adm", and no parenthesis)

See page 63 of this guide for more syntax details:

Yes SAAP2 license is installed and the hardware supports it.

And that worked - thanks. Perhaps ACUCLI should have proper syntax listed :)
