Examples
ARCCONF SETCONFIG 1 DEFAULT
arcconf setcontrollermode
Description
Sets the controller operating mode to one of the following:
• RAID Mode (default)—All RAID functions of the controller are enabled.
• Auto Volume Mode—All RAID functions of the controller are enabled. Attached drives without
Adaptec meta-data, but with an OS partition, are surfaced to the host operating system as Pass
Through devices, where the RAID layer of the controller rmware is bypassed when the host issues
commands to the device. Attached drives without Adaptec meta-data and without OS partitions,
are automatically congured as Simple Volumes (single drives with Adaptec meta-data), with these
settings:
∘ Controller read caching is set to “Enabled” for rotating media.
∘ Controller write caching is set to “Enabled (write-back) when protected by battery/ZMM” for
rotating media.
∘ maxCache SSD read and write caching is enabled and the write caching policy is set to "write
back" for rotating media.
∘ Caching for non-rotating media is disabled.
• HBA Mode—All attached drives are surfaced as Pass Through devices. Changing into HBA mode is
allowed only if there are no drives with Adaptec meta-data attached to the controller. Uninitialize
the drives before changing to HBA mode (see arcconf uninit on page 43).
Note: In HBA Mode, a hot-plugged new drive is automatically congured as a Raw
device (see arcconf uninit on page 43). When a Raw device is pulled from the
system, the controller does not delete internal data structures associated with the
drive. However, the missing raw device is not remembered across rescans.
