Table 13-5 Software RAID Management Tasks in NSSMU

Keystroke

Description

Enter

Shows the RAID partitions associated with the selected RAID device.

F3

Expands a RAID device by adding more partitions from another storage device.

You should not place more than one RAID partition on a disk; this severely impedes the performance of your file system.

F4

Rename a selected RAID device.

F6

Restripes or remirrors a RAID device.

Make sure all partitions have been added to your RAID device before restriping a device.

The file system performance might slow down during the restriping/remirroring process.

F8

Show pools (list pools on selected RAID 0 or 5; for RAID 1, its single member pool appears in device details)

Ins

Creates a software RAID (0, 1, or 5)

Del

Deletes an entire RAID device.

When you delete a RAID device, all partitions, volumes, and pools associated with that device are also deleted.

F5

Refreshes the display.
