/cx show ondegrade
This feature only applies to 9500S controllers.
This command reports the cache policy for degraded units. If the ondegrade
policy is “Follow Unit Policy,” a unit cache policy stays the same when the
unit becomes degraded. If the ondegrade policy is off, a unit cache policy will
be forced to “off” when the unit becomes degraded.
Example:
//localhost> /c0 show ondegrade
/c0 Cache on Degraded Policy = Follow Unit Policy
/cx show autocarve
This feature only applies to 9000 series controllers.
This command reports the Auto-Carve policy. If the policy is
on
, all newly
created or migrated units larger than the carvesize will be automatically
carved into multiples of carvesize volumes plus one remainder volume. Each
volume can be treated as an individual drive with its own file system. The
default carvesize is 2TB. For more information see, “/cx show carvesize”,
below.
For operating systems that support units larger than 2TB, there is no need to
set the policy to
on
unless you want the operating system to have multiple
smaller volumes.
If you use a 32-bit operating system, it is recommended that you keep the
policy
on
unless you know that your operating system supports disks that are
larger than 2 TB.
When the autocarve policy is
off
, all newly created units will consist of one
single volume.
Example
:
//localhost> /c0 show autocarve
/c0 Auto-Carving Policy = on
/cx show carvesize
This feature only applies to 9000 series controllers.
This command shows the maximum size of the volumes that will be created if
the autocarve policy is set to
on
. The carvesize can be set between 1024 GB
and 2048 GB. Default carvesize is 2048 GB (2 TB). For more information
see, “/cx show autocarve” above.
Example:
//localhost> /c0 show carvesize
/c0 Auto-Carving Size = 2000 GB
