Managing Controllers, Arrays, and Disks: bcadm --manage
Document
BC4000-UM100-R
--priority, -p
The Set Task Priority option allows you to speed up or slow down tasks being performed on arrays. To
decrease the time it takes for a task to complete, set the task priority higher (10 is the highest).
This option uses
--array
as a qualifier.
--initialize disk, -id
The Initialize Disk option initializes disks. If the disk is new and has not been used, you must initialize it before
you can create arrays. This option uses
--disk
as a qualifier.
Notes:
•
Task priority can only be set when a task is running on the array.
•
Tasks include things such as transforms, copies, restores, or consistency checks.
