Adds new logical drives/logical volumes to an existing configuration. This command does not erase the other configured logical drives on the controller. For more information, see Add LDs/LVs to the Current Configuration.

Dynamically Grow and/or Reconfigure LDs/LVs

Enables you to expand the capacity of logical drives and logical volumes, add SCSI drives to existing logical drives and logical volumes, and copy and replace all member drives with drives of higher capacity. For more information, see Dynamically Grow and/or Reconfigure LDs/LVs.

Make or Change Standby Drives

Adds one or more new standby drives to be associated with the array controller. For more information, see Make or Change Standby Drives.

Change Host LUN Assignments

Enables you to assign logical drives, logical volumes and partitions to a host channel. For more information, see Changing Host LUN Assignments.

Change Controller Parameters

Enables you to modify controller parameters. For more information, see Change Controller Parameters.

Manage Existing LDs/LVs and Partitions

Enables you to delete individual logical drives and logical volumes and create/delete partitions from existing logical drives and logical volumes. For more information, see Deleting a Logical Drive or Logical Volume, Partitioning an Existing Logical Drive or Logical Volume, and Deleting a Partition.
