Unit Object Commands
protect provides the maximum data protection among the controller settings. When storsave is set to protect mode, it means:
•When the unit becomes degraded, the write cache will be disabled.
•Write journaling is enabled. All data flushing from controller cache will be flushed to media.
•Incoming FUA (Force Unit Access) host requests will be honored unless a BBU is installed and enabled, in which case, they will be ignored.
perform provides the maximum performance and least data protection of the three controller settings. When storsave is set to perform mode, it means:
•When the unit becomes degraded, the write cache will not be disabled.
•Write journaling is disabled. All data flushing from controller cache will be flushed to disk. If a BBU is present, this essentially disables the BBU for this unit.
•Incoming FUA (Force Unit Access) host requests will be honored.
If you set the storsave policy to perform, a confirmation message will warn you that there could be data loss in the event of a power failure.
balance provides more data protection than perform mode but less data protection than protect mode, and provides better performance than protect mode but less performance than perform mode. When storsave is set to the balance mode, it means:
•When the unit becomes degraded, the write cache will not be disabled.
•Write journaling is disabled, if no BBU is present, and is enabled, if a BBU is present. All data flushing from controller cache will be flushed to media if a BBU is installed and enabled. Otherwise, data will be flushed to disk only.
•Incoming FUA (Force Unit Access) host requests will be honored unless a BBU is installed and enabled, in which case, they will be ignored.
