3ware CLI

I need some help with the Raid 5 array. I had two disk drives fail and now the raid-5 is Inoperable. I have been reading the AMCC Storage 3ware CLI guide, but I can't figure out how to add the drives I replace to the Raid Unit. Does anyone know how to do this?

//csit-svr-cam-8> //csit-svr-cam-8> /c2 show

  1. The server had lost 2 drives. They are not showing with any unit ID
  2. Screen Shot 2012-04-05 at 1.42.02 PM.png

  1. We did a delete partitions

/c2/u0 del

Do a show to see if it deleted properly

/c2 show

  1. Then build the raid

/c2 add type=raid5 disk=0-11

  1. Do a show and it should show initializing. This is background init.

/c2 show

  1. Exit out of tw_cli,
  2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  3. Do a cat/proc/partitions to see partitions showing up

cat/proc/partitions

  1. Create filesystem

parted /dev/sdb mklabel gpt

  1. Do a print to see the filesystem

parted /deb/sdb print

  1. Make the sdb partition into an xfs filesysem

parted -- /dev/sdb mkpart primary xfs 0 -0

  1. Do a print to check filesystem again

parted /dev/sdb print

  1. Now  format the disk

mkfs –t xfs –f /dev/sdb1

  1. Then mount the disk

mount /dev/sdb1 /media1

  1. Put entry for media1 in fstab (use vi or whatever)

vi /etc/fstab

  1. Then do an unmount and mount, test filesystem table entry

umount /media1

mount /media1
