Parameter Description
repository virtual disk. Free capacity is defined as the free
capacity between existing virtual disks in a disk group. For
example, a disk group might have the following areas:
virtual disk 1, free capacity, virtual disk 2, free capacity,
virtual disk 3, free capacity. To use the free capacity
following virtual disk 2, you would specify:
freeCapacityArea=2
Run the
show diskGroup
command to determine if a
free capacity area exists.
repositoryPhysicalDiskCount The number of unassigned physical disks that you want to
use for the replication repository virtual disk.
enclosureLossProtect The setting to enforce enclosure loss protection when you
create the replication repository virtual disk. To enforce
enclosure loss protection, set this parameter to
TRUE
.
The default value is
FALSE
.
drawerLossProtect The setting to enforce drawer loss protection when you
create the replication repository virtual disk. To enforce
drawer loss protection, set this parameter to
TRUE
. The
default value is
FALSE
.
Notes
If the physical disks selected for the
repositoryPhysicalDisks
parameter are not compatible with other
parameters (such as the
repositoryRAIDLevel
parameter), the script command returns an error, and Remote
Replication is not activated. The error returns the amount of space that is needed for the replication repository virtual
disk. The command can then be re-entered with the appropriate amount of space specified.
If a value is entered for the repository storage space that is too small for the replication repository virtual disks, the RAID
controller module firmware returns an error message that provides the amount of space that is needed for the
replication repository virtual disks. The command does not try to activate Remote Replication. The command can be re-
entered using the value from the error message for the repository storage space value.
When you assign the physical disks, if you set the
enclosureLossProtect
parameter to
TRUE
and have selected
more than one physical disk from any one enclosure, the storage array returns an error. If you set the
enclosureLossProtect
parameter to
FALSE
, the storage array performs operations, but the disk group that you
create might not have enclosure loss protection.
When the RAID controller module firmware assigns the physical disks, if you set the
enclosureLossProtect
parameter to
TRUE
, the storage array returns an error if the RAID controller module firmware cannot provide physical
disks that result in the new disk group having enclosure loss protection. If you set the
enclosureLossProtect
parameter to
FALSE
, the storage array performs the operation even if it means that the disk group might not have
enclosure loss protection.
The
drawerLossProtect
parameter defines if data on a virtual disk is accessible if a drawer fails. When you assign
the physical disks, if you set the
drawerLossProtect
parameter to
TRUE
and select more than one physical disk
from any one drawer, the storage array returns an error. If you set the
drawerLossProtect
parameter to
FALSE
,
the storage array performs operations, but the disk group that you create might not have drawer loss protection. You
must set the
enclosureLossProtect
parameter and the
drawerLossProtect
parameter to the same value.
Either both the parameters must be
TRUE
or both must be
FALSE
. If the
enclosureLossProtect
parameter and
the
drawerLossProtect
parameter are set to different values, the storage array returns an error.
