changing to HBA mode (see
arcconf uninit
on page 45). Uninitialized drives are also compatible with
any HBA or can be exchanged with drives on the motherboard's SATA interface.
Note: In HBA Mode, a hot-plugged new drive is automatically configured as a Raw
device (see
arcconf uninit
on page 45). When a Raw device is pulled from the
system, the controller does not delete internal data structures associated with the
drive. However, the missing RAW device is not remembered across rescans.
You must reboot the controller after you change the controller mode.

arcconf setmaxcache
Description
Enables/disables maxCache SSD caching for one or more logical drives; updates the maxCache write
cache policy and “dirty page” threshold (data not committed to disk); adds Solid State Drives to the
maxCache pool and removes SSDs from the pool; sets the maxCache read/write balance and cache
fetch/flush rate; clears the maxCache pool.
Note: Before you can enable maxCache SSD caching, you must assign at least one
SSD to the maxCache pool.
