Changing Switches for a Storageset or Device

You can optimize a storageset or device at any time by changing the switches that are associated with it. See “Choosing Switches for Storagesets and Devices,” page 3–42,for an explanation of the switches. Remember to update the storageset’s profile (hardcopy) when you change its switches.

Displaying the Current Switches

To display the current switches for a storageset or a single disk, enter the following command at a CLI prompt:

SHOW storageset-name or device-name FULL

Changing RAIDset and Mirrorset Switches

Use the SET storageset-namecommand to change the RAIDset and Mirrorset switches associated with an existing storageset. For example, the following command changes the replacement policy for RAIDset RAID1 to BEST_FIT:

SET RAID1 POLICY=BEST_FIT

Changing Device Switches

Use the SET command to change the device switches. For example, the following command enables DISK10000 to be used in a non-StorageWorks’ environment:

SET DISK10000 TRANSPORTABLE

The TRANSPORTABLE switch cannot be changed for a disk if the disk is part of an upper-level container. Additionally, the disk cannot be configured as a unit if it is to be used as indicated in this example.
