Dell OpenManage Deployment ToolkitThis is a featured page

The Dell™ OpenManage™ Deployment Toolkit (DTK) includes a set of utilities for configuring and deploying Dell PowerEdge™ systems. The DTK is designed for customers who need to build scripted installations to deploy large numbers of servers in a reliable fashion without having to dramatically change their current deployment processes.

In addition to the command-line utilities used to configure various system features, the DTK also provides sample scripts and configuration files to perform common deployment tasks and documentation. These files and scripts describe the use of DTK in Microsoft® Windows® Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) and embedded Linux® environments.

The benefits of the DTK:

  • Provides the tools necessary to automate the pre-operating system configuration tasks and the unattended operating system installation tasks when deploying PowerEdge systems.
  • Scales to support from one to many system deployment efforts.
  • Facilitates consistent system configurations across multiple systems.
  • Provides diverse and useful deployment tools that can be utilized in many different ways.

mikeva RAIDCFG to create RAID-10 2 Feb 19 2010, 3:54 PM EST by mikeva
Thread started: Feb 17 2010, 10:41 PM EST  Watch
I'm trying to use RAIDCFG in a WinPE environment to configure a PowerEdge R710 with a Perc 6/i controller.
The system has 8x 278GB SAS disks.
I successfully created a RAID-1 vdisk consisting of 0:0:1 and 0:1:1 using the following command:
raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=0 -ad=0:0:1,0:1:1 -r=1

Now I want to create a RAID-10 vdisk using either 4 or 6 of the remaining unused disks but when I try this:
raidcfg -ctrl -ac=cvd -c=0 -ad=0:2:1,0:3:1,0:4:1,0:5:1 -r=10
it says "Unable to determin optimum size for Virtual disk..."

If I try specifying the size (-sz=557) it tells me that it requires the entire disk space and the -sz parameter is not needed.

I have verified that all the disks are the same and all have 100% avail space (as shown when i run: raidcfg adisk -c=0).
I cannot get a RAID-10 vdisk created no matter what I do.

Can someone help???

Thanks.
