Hi All, I'm having an issue with setting up a "Dell HPC NFS Storage Solution" system (an R710 and 2 MD1200s with 12 2TB disks each). I'm following the guidelines in the "Dell HPC NFS Storage Solution" (Sept. 2010) document I was sent by a Dell representative (although it can also be found online, and seems to be the latest). I'm following the procedure in "Appendix B: Integrating Dell NSS into a High Performance Cluster", but I'm using Ubuntu Server 12.04. When I get to "configuring the LUNs on the MD1200" (page 33) and create a vdisk using omconfig I try the command in the document. Here's the command in all its glory: /opt/dell/srvadmin/bin/omconfig storage controller action=createvdisk controller=1 raid=r60 size=max stripesize=512kb pdisk=0:1:0,0:1:1,0:1:2,0:1:3,0:1:4,0:1:5,0:1:6,0:1:7,0:1:8,0:1:9,0:1:10,0:1:11,1:0:0,1:0:1,1:0:2,1:0:3,1:0:4,1:0:5,1:0:6,1:0:7,1:0:8,1:0:9,1:0:10,1:0:11 spanlength=12 (On running it I get the "Command successful" response and no other messages.) That is putting all 24 2TB drives in one virtual disk. So I expect to get about 36TB of space. I actually get a vdisk of 22TB. If I report on the physical disks I see this for every physical drive.
