Overview

The Disk interface enables you to manage the disks in the system. The disk objects come in two flavors. "Physical disks“ are the actual hardware disk drives, which can be anything from a true hard disk to a compact flash drive to a USB flash drive. Physical disks are addressed by their serial numbers. "Logical disks” are the view of the disk drives from the system’s point of view, abstracting the disk itself, making all disk drives look the same whether they are a true hard disk, a flash drive, or a full disk array. In other words, a logical disk can hold one or more physical disks. Logical disks are addressed by the LogicalDisk identifier, which includes their logical name (e.g., "HD2“, "CF1”, "MD1“) and their chassis slot identifier. It is important to note the potentially confusing relationship between logical and physical disks and their identifiers. All physical disks can be addressed by a LogicalDisk identifier, though it is not guaranteed that all physical disks have an entry in the logical disk table. The logical disk identifier for a physical disk is dependent on the connection of the disk drive to the system, so can change if the system’s disk drive configuration changes. On the other hand, all logical disks hold one or more physical disks, which can have a direct one-to-one mapping for a single disk drive or a one-to-many mapping for a disk array. To avoid problems, physical disks should be ideally addressed only by their serial numbers and logical disks only by their LogicalDisk identifiers. Addressing physical disks by their LogicalDisk identifier is supported as a convenience for any user-generated input. Be careful with these distinctions as you use this interface.

Instance Method Details

#add_array_member(opts) ⇒ Object

Adds physical disk to a set of logical disk arrays. For a clustered system, this must be run on the chassis slot holding the disk array. This only works for logical disk which represent disk arrays.

Parameters:

  • opts (Hash)

Options Hash (opts):

  • :serial_numbers (String[]) —

    The serial numbers of the physical disks to add to each specified logical disk array.

Raises:

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::AccessDenied) —

    raised if the client credentials are not valid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::InvalidArgument) —

    raised if one of the arguments is invalid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::OperationFailed) —

    raised if an operation error occurs.

end

#add_array_member_by_logical_id(opts) ⇒ Object

Adds physical disk to a set of logical disk arrays. For a clustered system, this must be run on the chassis slot holding the disk array. This only works for logical disk which represent disk arrays. This method does exactly the same thing as "add_array_member“, except that the added physical disk are specified by their LogicalDisk identifiers, more convenient for user input than the serial numbers used in "remove_array_member”. It is supplied for convenience purposes only.

Parameters:

  • opts (Hash)

Options Hash (opts):

Raises:

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::AccessDenied) —

    raised if the client credentials are not valid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::InvalidArgument) —

    raised if one of the arguments is invalid.

  • (IControl::IControl::Common::OperationFailed) —

    raised if an operation error occurs.

#array_status(opts) ⇒ RAIDStatus
