Adaptec ARCCONF on sun

Hey everyone.
I am trying to set up four sun servers. They all came with an adaptec storagetek raid liveCD. On the liveCD there is a utility called "Arcconf" which is supposed to be used to configure the storage arrays. The example given in their documentation uses this as an example:

Code:
ARCCONF CREATE <Controller#> LOGICALDRIVE [Options] <Size> <RAID#> <CHANNEL#
DRIVE#> [CHANNEL# DRIVE#] ... [noprompt]
ARCCONF CREATE <Controller#> LOGICALDRIVE RVOLUME <LD#> <LD#> [LD#] ... [noprompt]
ARCCONF CREATE <Controller#> JBOD <CHANNEL# DRIVE#> [CHANNEL# DRIVE#] ...
[noprompt]

So I'm trying to set up a 4 disk raid 10 array. When I try to type in the following command, it says that its invalid syntax. I also tried creating two raid 1's and then concatenating them with a raid 0 but it gave me a bunch of errors when doing that.

Here's the command I used:
Code:
arcconf create 1 LOGICALDRIVE MAX 10 0 4 0 5 0 6 0 7

Any help would be greatly appreciated, their examples only cover very basic arrays (raid 0, and JBOD) and I can't find any other examples floating around on google.

The manual says there are many optional arguments, but most come with prefix words, but this looks reasonable for raid 10:

Using the Command-Line Interface

Maybe the controller # was taken, or this version does not know raid 10? Did you try other configuratons?

Thanks for the answer! It turns out I had actually done it correctly before, I must have fat fingered something. The numbers at the end are designations of disks (channel, and then disk divided by a whitespace character - for example, 0,4 and 0,5 is "0 4 0 5"). I also hadn't set a build method.

The final string I used (as an example for other people who may have issues):
Code:
arcconf create 1 LOGICALDRIVE method BUILD MAX 10 0 4 0 5 0 6 0 7
