Dell 34XX, 38XX, 32XX, 36XX manual Activate Storage Array Firmware, Add Member To Consistency Group

set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to FALSE, the storage array performs operations, but the disk group that you create might not have enclosure loss protection.

When the RAID controller module firmware assigns the physical disks, if you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to TRUE, the storage array returns an error if the RAID controller module firmware cannot provide physical disks that result in the new disk group having enclosure loss protection. If you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to FALSE, the storage array performs the operation even if it means that the disk group might not have enclosure loss protection.

The drawerLossProtect parameter defines if data on a virtual disk is accessible if a drawer fails. When you assign the physical disks, if you set the drawerLossProtect parameter to TRUE and select more than one physical disk from any one drawer, the storage array returns an error. If you set the drawerLossProtect parameter to FALSE, the storage array performs operations, but the disk group that you create might not have drawer loss protection.

You must set the enclosureLossProtect parameter and the drawerLossProtect parameter to the same value. Both of the parameters must be either TRUE or FALSE. If the enclosureLossProtect parameter and the drawerLossProtect parameter is set to different values, the storage array returns an error.
