Parameter

Description

 

 

virtualDisksPerGroupCount

Number of equal-capacity virtual disks per disk

 

group. Use integer values.

hotSpareCount

Number of hot spares in the storage array. Use

 

integer values. For information about hot spares,

 

see Assigning Global Hot Spares.

segmentSize

Amount of data (in kilobytes) that the RAID

 

controller module writes on a single physical disk

 

in a virtual disk before writing data on the next

 

physical disk. Valid values are 8, 16, 32, 64, 128,

 

256, or 512. For information about the

 

segmentSize parameter, see Using the Auto

 

Configure Command.

cacheReadPrefetch

The setting to turn on or turn off cache read

 

prefetch. To turn off cache read prefetch, set this

 

parameter to FALSE. To turn on cache read

 

prefetch, set this parameter to TRUE.

securityType

The setting to specify the security level when

 

creating the disk groups and all associated virtual

 

disks.

 

none—The disk group and virtual disks are not

 

secure.

 

capable—The disk group and virtual disks are

 

capable of having security set, but security has

 

not been enabled.

 

enabled—The disk group and virtual disks have

 

security enabled.

dataAssurance

The setting to specify that a disk group, and the

 

virtual disks within the disk group, has data

 

assurance protection to make sure that the data

 

maintains its integrity. When you use this

 

parameter, only protected physical disks can be

 

used for the disk group. These settings are valid:

 

• none - No explicit data assurance is defined.

 

The disk group will be comprised of virtual disks

 

that may or may not have data assurance,

 

depending on the availability of data assurance

 

enabled physical disks. Data Assurance is

 

enabled on virtual disks created on disk groups

 

that support data assurance. If only data

 

assurance physical disks are available, the disk

 

groups will be data assurance enabled.

 

• enabled - The disk group has data assurance

 

protection. The disk group supports protected

 

information and is formatted with protection

 

information enabled.
