Replicating a RAID configuration

If you have an existing RAID configuration that you want to replicate to other systems, you can use the sample jobs RAID Capture and RAID configuration to capture and deploy the settings to a new target server.

About this task

The sample jobs are located in the IBM Scripting Toolkit, Linux Edition 9.6 > Modular Deployment Tools > Step 1 - Pre-installation Hardware Configuration > RAID Replication folder in the Altiris Deployment Solution console.

Procedure

To capture an existing RAID configuration, follow these steps:

  1. Start the Altiris Deployment Solution console.
  2. Navigate to the IBM Scripting Toolkit, Linux Edition 9.6 > Modular Deployment Tools > Step 1 - Pre-installation Hardware Configuration > RAID Replication folder.
  3. Run the Capture RAID configuration job against the system whose RAID configuration you want to replicate. You can customize the following variables for these jobs from the Altiris Deployment Solution console. The values shown are the defaults:
    • TK_pRAID_File=sgdeploy/sgtklinux/ini/praid/Machine_Type/raid_capture.ini where Machine_Type is the machine type of the system being captured.
    • TK_pRAID_Flags=

What to do next

When you have captured the RAID configuration, you can deploy it by using the Deploy RAID configuration job in the IBM Scripting Toolkit, Linux Edition 9.6 > Modular Deployment Tools > Step 1 - Pre-installation Hardware Configuration > RAID Replication folder.
