Thank you for the information regarding the monitoring script that is one
of two things I needed. The other is procedures for basic pre-production
testing and disk management.
Firstly, how to add and configure a failover disk (hot spare). I can't
find any howto like examples in the Dell CLI Guide and I am having
difficulty understanding if for RAID-5 I should be using:
AFA0> controller set automatic_failover /failover_enbled=true
or
AFA0> container set global_failover <SCSI device ID>
Secondly, how to replace a "failed" RAID disk in the case where there are
no fail over disks (hot spares). What command shows the status of RAID
being rebuilt?
Thirdly, how to replace a failover disk (hot spare) that was used by the
RAID-5 after failure of a RAID disk.
Thanks to any one who has such a write up and can provide it, or can
outline the basic procedure, or can point me to Dell docs that cover these
items.
