member_name

Name of a member.

disk select|show

Displays information about all member disks or the selected disk, or clears a disk with foreign status.

eth select|show

Configures or modifies the selected network interface or displays the network configuration for the member.

show [component]

Displays detailed information about the member or the specified member component: connections, controllers, disks [n], enclosure, eths [n], version, or volumes.

cancel-operation op_id

Cancels an in-progress move or delete operation. Use the member select show command to obtain the operation’s ID number.

controller-safe enable|disable

Enables or disables (default) controller-safe mode for the member. The default (disable) is the recommended setting.

def-gateway ip_address

Default gateway for the member.

delay-data-move enable|disable

Enables or disables (default) functionality that delays using the member storage space until the initial RAID verification completes and batteries are fully charged.

• If disabled (the default, recommended option), the member space will be used immediately. However, member performance will not be optimal while the RAID verification is in progress.

• If enabled, the member space will not be used until the verification completes and the batteries are charged.

Note: You can enable delay-data-move only when setting the member RAID policy for the first time (see the raid-policy parameter). You can disable the functionality at any time. However, once disabled, you cannot re-enable this functionality.

description text

Description for the member, up to 128 alphanumeric characters. If the text variable contains spaces, surround it with quotation marks.

locate enable|disable

Enables or disables the flashing of array LEDs for the purpose of locating the array.

Flashing stops automatically after two hours.

low-battery-safe
enable|disable

Enables (default) or disables low-battery-safe mode for the selected member. The default (enable) is the recommended setting. Disabling low-battery-safe mode is not recommended because of the risk of data loss if an array loses power.

pool pool_name

Assigns the member to a pool. Note that moving a member from one pool to another can be a lengthy operation, because volume data on the member must be moved to the remaining pool members. The data movement will compete with user I/O for computational and network bandwidth.

You can cancel a move operation.

Only one member at a time can be moved into or out of a pool.

raid-policy policy

Sets the RAID policy for the member, either raid5, raid10, raid50, raid10-nospares, or raid50-nospares. (The no-spare policies are not available through the Group Manager GUI.)

Note: For the highest availability, choose a RAID policy that includes spare disks, which are used automatically if a disk fails.

The first time you set the RAID policy for a member, you can also enable functionality that delays using the member space until the initial RAID verification completes and the batteries are fully charged. See the delay-data-move parameter above.

Once you set a member RAID policy, only the following conversions are supported:

• raid10 to raid50 or raid5

• raid50 to raid5

• raid10-nospares to raid50-nospares

When you change the RAID policy, the member’s RAID status will be expanding. The new disk space will be unavailable until the conversion completes.
