Description

This helper Cmdlet will create a Logical Disk controller object to then be assigned to a Server Profile Template or Server Profile using the -LogicalDisk parameter.

Examples

Example 1

$LogicalDisk = New-OVServerProfileLogicalDisk -Name "MyDisk" | New-OVServerProfileLogicalDiskController -Initialize

Create a default Logical Disk and Controller configuration object policy.

Example 2

New-OVServerProfileLogicalDiskController -Mode HBA

Create an HBA controller policy, which will then set the controller to JBOD mode.

Example 3

$LogicalDisk1 = New-OVServerProfileLogicalDisk -Name "MyDisk"
$LogicalDisk2 = New-OVServerProfileLogicalDisk -Name "MyDisk2"
$Controller = New-OVServerProfileLogicalDiskController -Initialize -LogicalDisk $LogicalDisk1,$LogicalDisk2

Create a default Logical Disk and Controller configuration object policy.

Example 4

$LogicalDisk1 = New-OVServerProfileLogicalDisk -Name Boot -RAID RAID1 -MinDriveSize 300 -MaxDriveSize 300 -DriveType SAS -Bootable $True
$LogicalDisk2 = New-OVServerProfileLogicalDisk -Name Data -RAID RAID5 -NumberofDrives 5 -MinDriveSize 300 -MaxDriveSize 300 -DriveType SAS
$Controller = New-OVServerProfileLogicalDiskController -ControllerID "Mezz 1" -Mode RAID -LogicalDisk $LogicalDisk1,$LogicalDisk2

Create a HPE Synergy D3940 RAID disk policy, with a bootable volume.

Example 5

$AvailableDriveType = Get-OVSasLogicalInterconnect -Name "LE1-Default SAS Synergy LIG-3" -ErrorAction Stop | Get-OVAvailableDriveType  | ? { $_.Type -eq "SASHDD" -and $_.capacity -eq 900 }
$NewLogicalDisk = New-OVServerProfileLogicalDisk -Name "LD1_RAID5_900GB_SASHDD" -DriveSelectionBy DriveType -NumberofDrives 6 -RAID RAID5 -AvailableDriveType $AvailableDriveType
C:\> $Controller = New-OVServerProfileLogicalDiskController -ControllerID "Mezz 1" -Mode RAID -LogicalDisk $NewLogicalDisk

Create a RAID5 Logical Disk for a Server Profile using D3940 storage, and a specific available drive type, 900GB capacity and SASHDD type, and assign it to a new Controller.

Example 6

# Get the specific server.  Server must have been powered on at least 1 time to complete POST in order for server inventory to be updated
$Server = Get-OVServer -Name MyGen11Server

# Get the available controllers and drives from the specific server
$AvailableControllers = Get-OVServerHardwareAvailableController -InputObject $Server

# Review installed controllers
$AvailableControllers | ? { -not [String]::IsNullOrEmpty($_.DeviceSlot) }

# Filter out available SataHdd for a 3+1 and spare drive configuration
$DrivesToAssign = ($AvailableControllers | ? DeviceSlot -eq "Slot 1").Drives | ? { $_.DriveTechnology -eq "SataHdd" -and -not $_.IsAllocated } | Select -First 5

# Create the logical drive, specifying drives and the spare drive to use (which is the last drive in the collection)
$LogicalDrive = New-OVServerProfileLogicalDisk -Name RAID5+Spare-DATA -Drives $DrivesToAssign -RAID Raid5 -AddSpareDrive -SpareDrives $DrivesToAssign[-1]

Identify available storage controllers and drives, and create a logical disk with specific drives from inventory including spare drive.
