HSG80 Array Controller V8.7 Command Line Interface Reference Guide
CLI Command Descriptions
Sets the largest number of read blocks to be cached by the controller. The
controller will not cache any transfers over the size set. Acceptable values are
0 through 2048.
The MAXIMUM_CACHED_TRANSFER switch affects both read and write-back
cache when set on a controller that has read and write-back caching.
MAX_WRITE_CACHED_TRANSFE_SIZE=n
MAX_WRITE_CACHED_TRANSFER_SIZE=32 (default)
Sets the largest number of write blocks to be cached by the controller. The
controller will not cache any transfers over the size set. Acceptable write block
sizes are 0 through 2048.
The MAXIMUM_CACHED_TRANSFER switch affects both read and write-back
cache when set on a controller that has read and write-back caching.
MAXIMUM_CACHED_TRANSFER_SIZE=n
MAXIMUM_CACHED_TRANSFER_SIZE=32 (default)
Sets the largest number of read and write blocks to be cached by the controller.
The controller will not cache any transfers over the size set. Acceptable block
sizes are 0 through 2048.
The MAXIMUM_CACHED_TRANSFER_SIZE switch affects both read and
write-back cache when set on a controller that has read and write-back caching.
The use of this switch has the effect of setting both the
MAX_READ_CACHED_TRANSFER_SIZE and the
MAX_WRITE_CACHED_TRANSFER_SIZE switches.
PARTITION=partition-number
Identifies the partition-number for a partition on a container. The
partition-number identifies the partition associated with the unit number being
added. Use the SHOW container-name command to find the partition numbers
used by a storageset or a single-disk unit.
NOTE: Transportable units cannot be partitioned. All partitions on a container must be
addressed through the same controller. If you add a unit for a partition and specify the
preferred path switch, all partitions on that container inherit the same path.
PREFERRED_PATH=OTHER_CONTROLLER
PREFERRED_PATH=THIS_CONTROLLER
NOPREFERRED_PATH (default)
The PREFERRED_PATH switch tells the controller if it is expected to bring a unit
online in dual boot situations.
