/c
x
set stagger=
nn
This command is only for 9000 series controllers.
This command allows you to set a controller-based Disk Spinup Stagger Time
Policy that specifies the delay between spin-ups. The value must be a positive
integer between 0 to 60 seconds. This policy, in conjunction with Disk Spinup
Policy, specifies how the controller should spin up disks at boot time. The
default is 6 seconds.
/c
x
set autocarve=on|off
This command is only for 9000 series controllers.
This command allows you to set the auto-carve policy to
on
or
off.
By default,
autocarve is
off
.
When the auto-carve policy is set to
on
, any unit larger than the carvesize is
created or migrated into one or more carvesize volumes and a remaining
volume. Each volume can then be treated as an individual disk with its own
file system. The default carvesize is 2 TB.
This feature is useful for operating systems limited to 2TB file systems.
For example, using the 2 TB default carvesize, a 3 TB unit will be configured
into one 2 TB volume and one 1 TB volume. A 5 TB unit will be configured
into two 2 TB volumes and one 1 TB volume.
When auto-carve policy is set to
off
, all new units are created as a single large
volume. If the operating system can only recognize up to 2 TBs, space over 2
TB will not be available.
Example:
//localhost> /c0 set autocarve=on
Setting Auto-Carving Policy on /c0 to on ... Done.
/c
x
set carvesize=[1024..2048]
This command is only for 9000 series controllers.
This command allows you to set the carve size in GB. This feature works
together with autocarve. See “/cx set autocarve=on|off” above for details.
Example:
//localhost> /c0 set carvesize=2000
Setting Auto-Carving Size on /c0 to 2000 GB ... Done.
