Using omconfig to reconfigure PERC 5/i vdisk

No there is no initialization needed. For size you should be able to
specify either "min" or "max" and it should take care of the rest.

Subject: Using omconfig to reconfigure PERC 5/i vdisk

Hi.

[I've sent this to the list a few days ago, it doesn't seem to have
gotten through. Sorry for the dupe otherwise]

I now have two brand new SAS disks that I would like to bring into an
existing vdisk. Currently it consists of five adisks in a RAID-5
configuration and I would just like to add the new disks. I guess I
should do something along the lines of:

omconfig storage vdisk action=reconfigure controller=0 vdisk=0 raid=r5
size=?? adisk=0:0:0,0:0:1,0:0:2,0:0:3,0:0:4,0:0:5,0:0:6

where adisk 5 and 6 are the new disks.
Do I need to initilize the adisks first?
If I don't specify raid or size will those set to sensible defaults?

I'm guessing this will take a while and make disk access slow, but is
there any danger of using the disk while rebuilding?

Regards,
Pontus
