RAID 6402 Interface

[Ron Brown_2]

What is the interface for the 6402 RAID controller under HP-UX 11i? This is connected to an MSA 30 with 8 drives, 4 per channel. I need to mirror drives with RAID 1+0.

Thanks for the responses. I should be more specific: what is the interface used to configure the controller for RAID 1+0?

Hi Ron,

To create a RAID 1+0 array of disks 0-3 on channel 1 of controller ciss5 with stripe size of 256 KB:

# /opt/raidsa/bin/saconfig /dev/ciss5 -R 1+0 -S 256 -p 1:0 -p 1:1 -p 1:2 -p 1:3
