Configuring

• Example for setting up a RAID60 (on 36 Drives, 18 Drives per array)

[root@oswald ~]# storcli64 /c0 add vd type=raid60 drives=85:0-23,88:0-11 pdperarray=18 
Controller = 0
Status = Success
Description = Add VD Succeeded

Extend a RAID6 array (TT)

first identify your new disks and the existing virtual disk(s) using the show all command above

[root@storage1 ~]# /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 show all

In the above the virtual disk id is 239 and you can see that it a raid 6.

There is just the one enclosure (252) and a total of 8 drives in that enclosure. The new drives are the UGood ones are the top in "slot 0 and slot 1". This allows us to develop the following command line.

[root@storage1 ~]# /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0/v239 start migrate type=r6 option=add drives=252:0-1

Status = Success
Description = Start VD Operation Success

you can monitor the progress with:

[root@storage1 ~]# /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0/v239 show migrate
