Basic CommandsbindCreates a LUN within an existing RAID groupDescriptionThe naviseccli or navicli bind command binds a LUN within anexisting RAID group. You can also create a hot spare RAID groupthrough a single command. You can create a RAID group with thecreaterg command (page 106).Ensure that you address the bind command to the SP that you wantto own the LUN.Note: As soon as a LUN is bound on a CX series storage system runningFLARE or Access Logix version 02.04.x.xx.5.xxx or lower, you should start abackground verify on the LUN with ASAP priority and set the sniffer rate forthe LUN to 5. You can perform both these operations with the setsniffercommand (see the Examples section of the command). You should not senddata to the LUN until the background verify operation is complete. Thebackground verify operation will eliminate any latent soft media errors priorto use of the LUN.As soon as a LUN is bound on a CX series storage system running FLARE orAccess Logix software version 02.05.x.xx.5.xxx or higher, a background verifyruns automatically unless you disabled it with the -noinitialverify switch.The following table identifies the parameters you must configure foreach RAID type you bind.79
