ARCCONF SETPOWER <Controller#> LD <LogicalDrive#> DISABLE|[SLOWDOWN <st#>]
[POWEROFF <pt#>] [VERIFY <vt#>]
Parameters
Controller# is the controller number.
Stayawake sets the stayawake period for the disk drives on the controller. During the stayawake
period, the disk drives always operate at their peak spin rate.
Disable is a keyword that disables the stayawake period for the disk drives on a controller.
starttime specifies the beginning of the stayawake period, in the form HHMM (24-hour
format).
endtime specifies the end of the stayawake period, in the form HHMM (24-hour format).
Spinup sets the spin-up limits for the controller—the maximum number of drives that the
controller may spin up at one time.
internal# is the maximum number of internal drives that the controller may spin up at one
time, from 0-20.
external# is the maximum number of external drives (such as the drives in a JBOD) that the
controller may spin up at one time, from 0-20.
LogicalDrive# is the logical drive number.
Slowdown st# sets the disk drive slow-down timer, in minutes. Valid values are 0 (never), 3, 5,
10, 20, 30, 60, 120, 180.
Poweroff pt# sets the disk drive power-off timer, in minutes. Valid values are 0 (never), 3, 5,
10, 20, 30, 60, 120, 180.
Verify vt# sets the period of inactivity, in hours, after which an inactive drive (a drive that’s
already powered down) is restarted to verify its operating condition. Once the check is
completed, the drive is powered down and returns to its inactive state. Valid values are 0
(never), 1, 2, 3, 8, 12, 24.
Note:
For the Slowdown, Poweroff, and Verify timers, st# must be less than pt#, and pt# must
be less than vt#. You can set one or more timers, in any order, in a single command. Keep in
mind that the Verify timer, vt#, is specified in hours; the other two timers are specified in
minutes.
