Basic CommandsStorage setup and management overviewThis section shows how you might configure and monitor a storagesystem using naviseccli or navicli commands. It shows commandswith UNIX device names. The Windows device names would bedrive letters. The storage system is a system, in which each SP is ahost. For an overview showing storage systems with Access Logix,see Chapter 4. For storage systems without Access Logix:1. Create four RAID groups.naviseccli -h ss1_spa createrg 0 0_0_0 0_0_10_0_2 0_0_3 0_0_4Creates RAID group 0 from disks 0 through 4 in the DPEenclosure. A new RAID group has no RAID type until it is bound.naviseccli -h ss1_spa createrg 1 0_0_5 0_0_6Creates RAID group 1 from disks 5 and 6 in the DPE enclosure.naviseccli -h ss1_spa createrg 2 0_0_7 0_0_8Creates RAID group 2 from disks 7 and 8 in the DPE enclosure.naviseccli -h ss1_spa createrg 3 0_0_9Creates RAID group 3 from disk 9 in the DPE enclosure.Note: To create RAID groups for storage systems running NavisphereExpress, you must use the -raidtype switch with the createrg command.2. Bind a LUN on each RAID group.naviseccli -h ss1_spa bind r5 0 -rg 0This command binds a LUN of type RAID 5 with LUN ID 0 onRAID group 0. The LUN occupies all space on RAID group 0,since the bind command did not include the -cap switch. Bydefault, read and write caching are enabled on the new LUN.naviseccli -h ss1_spa bind r1 1 -rg 1Binds a LUN of type RAID 1 (mirrored pair) with LUN ID 1 onRAID group 1. The LUN occupies all space on RAID group 1 andcaching is enabled by default.52 EMC Navisphere Command Line Interface (CLI) Reference
