RE: Set Universal Hotspare via OpenManage?
Aug 5 2008, 2:55 AM EDT Hello Brian, I`ve checked the docs for open manage 5.4 on http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/software/svradmin/5.4/en/ug/html/storage.htm#wp1054202 and found out that if you try to set a harddrive a global hotspare and try this via connector , you can only choose dedicated hsp, but if you use the physical task you are able to set the drive as global one, you can also use the command line , found following in the config guide : Complete Syntax omconfig storage pdisk action=assignglobalhotspare controller=id pdisk=<PDISKID> assign=yes where id is the controller ID. The <PDISK> variable specifies the physical disk. To obtain these values, enter omreport storage controller to display the controller IDs and then enter omreport storage pdisk controller=ID to display the IDs for the physical disks attached to the controller. Example Syntax In this example, you want to assign physical disk 3 on connector 0 of controller 1 as a global hot spare. On a SAS controller, the physical disk resides in enclosure 2. Example for SCSI, SATA, and ATA Controllers To assign the physical disk described in this example as a global hot spare, enter: omconfig storage pdisk action=assignglobalhotspare controller=1 pdisk=0:3 assign=yes Example for SAS Controllers To assign the physical disk described in this example as a global hot spare, enter: omconfig storage pdisk action=assignglobalhotspare controller=1 pdisk=0:2:3 assign=yes source : http://support.euro.dell.com/support/edocs/software/svradmin/5.4/en/cli/html/storage.htm#wp1053365 just two questions : does the size of the harddrive is equal or bigger than all other used hdds ? does the planned hdd is in example a sata drive and there also sas drives in use ? if so you cannot assign a global hsp due to non mixing sata/sas drives ...... I hope that these answer will help you out 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |
