Equallogic ps4000 series discussion

You should download the CLI guide (located on the support site where the firmware is downloaded - select the version currently installed on your arrays).

you can also install the EqualLogic PowerShell cmdlets (located on the HIT download page).

a simple example you would telnet/ssh to the array member and issue the show command at the group name prompt.

You would have to capture the output in your telnet/ssh program to save the data.

what is the command line for the information required above ??

another ...if i have two storage in default pool and i create a volume then the volume will be created to both storage array ???

Thanks Don, Much appreciated ...there is another thing i am stuck up.

grpbbv> pool show

Name                 Default Members Volumes Capacity   FreeSpace

-------------------- ------- ------- ------- ---------- ----------

default              true    2       12      12.55TB    12.11TB

testpool             false   0       0       0MB        0MB

i just created a pool testpool, but when i try to add volume its says the testpool size is zero and can't add volume to testpool ?

moreover if i need to add a newely created volume to testpool again i get the error. how can i add storage to a pool ??

In order to add any volume to a storage pool, there must be at least one array member in the pool.  Look at your output, you do not have any member in the testpool.

Regarding volumes spanning multi-members in the same pool, yes, this is expected.  This is part of the the Capaccity Load Balance (CLB).

I have attached the most recent tech report on how the three different load balancers work (Network, CLB and APLB).

is it possible to edit the group after it has been created??

Hi Don,

Could you provide me information about the nas configuration ?

grpbbv> nas filesystem create nasFS 1GB

% Error - Object does not exist

why this error is coming ?

I have upgraded my ps 6000 from 6.0.11 to 7.1.7. after that when I reset my device I  get following

CLI> reset
% Error - Object does not exist
% Error - Object does not exist

Warning: This command resets an array to the factory
defaults (original condition).  The result is the
elimination of all group and volume configuration
information and any volume data residing on the array.

It is strongly recommended that you not reset a running
array. Instead, use the delete member command which moves
data from this array to other arrays and automatically
resets this array.

Please can you explain the above error after reset
