Parameter

Description

 

 

 

(#) for the identifier. Identifiers can have a

 

maximum of 30 characters.

physicalDisks

The physical disks that you want to use to create

 

the SSD cache. For high-capacity expansion

 

enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value, the

 

drawer ID value, and the slot ID value for each

 

physical disk that you want to assign to the SSD

 

cache. For low-capacity expansion enclosures,

 

specify the enclosure ID value and the slot ID value

 

for each physical disk that you assign to the SSD

 

cache. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99. Drawer ID

 

values are 0 to 4. Slot ID values are 0 to 31.

 

Enclose the enclosure ID values, the drawer ID

 

values, and the slot ID values in parentheses.

updateExistingVirtualDisks

This optional parameter specifies whether the SSD

 

cache should be enabled for all existing virtual

 

disks in the storage array. To enable the SSD cache

 

for all existing virtual disks, set this parameter to

 

TRUE. If you want to enable the SSD cache for

 

individual virtual disks later, set this parameter to

 

FALSE. The default value is TRUE.

Notes

A storage array can have only one SSD cache.

Only virtual disks created using hard disk physical disks can use the SSD cache. You cannot enable SSD cache on snapshot (legacy) virtual disks or snapshot images.

SSDs do not currently support self encrypting disk (SED). Therefore, virtual disks that have SED enabled cannot use the SSD cache.

If all of the SSDs in the SSD cache are data assurance (DA)-capable and the DA premium feature is enabled, DA is automatically enabled for the SSD cache and cannot be disabled. In addition, you cannot add non-DA capable SSDs to a DA-enabled SSD cache.

Create Storage Array Security Key

Description

This command creates a new security key for a storage array that has Self-Encrypting Disk (SED) physical disks. This command also sets the security definitions and sets the state to Security Enabled.

NOTE: Before you create a storage array security key, you must set the password for the storage array. Use the setStorageArray command to set the password for the storage array.
