Create a disk group

create diskgroup data1
external redundancy
disk /dev/raw/raw1
/
create diskgroup data1
external redundancy
disk /dev/raw/raw1
/

or with multiple raw partitions

multiple disks
create diskgroup data2
external redundancy

disk /dev/raw/raw2
, /dev/raw/raw3
/
multiple disks
create diskgroup data2
external redundancy
disk /dev/raw/raw2
, /dev/raw/raw3
/

or with multiple fail groups

create diskgroup data3
normal redundancy
failgroup controller1 disk /dev/raw/raw4
failgroup controller2 disk /dev/raw/raw6
/
create diskgroup data3
normal redundancy
failgroup controller1 disk /dev/raw/raw4
failgroup controller2 disk /dev/raw/raw6
/

Add a disk to a group

alter diskgroup data1
add disk /dev/raw/raw4
/
alter diskgroup data1

Drop a disk group

drop diskgroup <name>
