Parameter

Description

 

 

addPhysicalDisks

The setting to add new physical disks to the virtual

 

disk. For high-capacity expansion enclosures,

 

specify the enclosure ID value, the drawer ID value,

 

and the slot ID value for the physical disk. For low-

 

capacity expansion enclosures, specify the

 

enclosure ID value and the slot ID value for the

 

physical disk. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99.

 

Drawer ID values are 1 to 5. Slot ID values are 0 to

 

31. Enclose the enclosure ID value, drawer ID

 

value, and the slot ID value in parentheses. Use this

 

parameter with the addCapacity parameter if you

 

need to specify additional physical disks to

 

accommodate the new size. This parameter is not

 

valid for disk pool virtual disks or for thin virtual

 

disks.

 

Each disk pool must be created from a minimum

 

of 11 physical disks specified. There is no upward

 

limit of physical disks supported in a single disk

 

pool, but the number cannot exceed the number

 

of physical disks supported on the storage array.

cacheFlushModifier

The maximum amount of time that data for the

 

virtual disk stays in cache before the data is flushed

 

to physical storage. Valid values are listed in the

 

Notes section.

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.

cacheWithoutBatteryEnabled

The setting to turn on or turn off caching without

 

batteries. To turn on caching without batteries, set

 

this parameter to TRUE. To turn off caching

 

without batteries, set this parameter to FALSE.

mediaScanEnabled

The setting to turn on or turn off media scan for

 

the virtual disk. To turn on media scan, set this

 

parameter to TRUE. To turn off media scan, set this

 

parameter to FALSE. (If media scan is disabled at

 

the storage array level, this parameter has no

 

effect.)

replicationCacheEnabled

The setting to turn on or turn off the replication

 

cache. To turn on the replication cache, set this

 

parameter to TRUE. To turn off the replication

 

cache, set this parameter to FALSE.

modificationPriority

The priority for virtual disk modifications while the

 

storage array is operational. Valid values are

 

highest, high, medium, low, or lowest.
