Creating Hard Drives via the HP Smart Storage Administrator CLI

Scenario:  You want to provision additional Hard Drives in your HP Servers  to existing Zone Groups. You have a 3TB physical drive and want to create 3 logical drives from it.

This command shows the physical drives. You are specifically looking for the Unassigned Drives (typically at the bottom). You want to get the physicaldrive number:

ctrl slot=2 physicaldrive all show detail

These commands below will create a new array (automatically choosing the next array letter) and cuts up the physical drive into 3 logical drives. By specifying the physicaldrive number in the first command, it automatically assigns an Array letter.  In the following 2 commands, I know the drive letter so I specified it.

ctrl slot=2 create type=ld drives=53:1:11 raid=0 Size=1024000
ctrl slot=2 Array Z create type=ld size=1024000 raid=0
ctrl slot=2 Array Z create type=ld size=1024000 raid=0
