• The delete lun command is supported, but only the last logical drive of an array can be
deleted. VDS does not recognize the concept of arrays, so it is not readily apparent which
LUN can be deleted.
• The h ardware provider does not allow simultaneous extension of size with a list of disks. For
example the following command is invalid: extend lun drives=5,6 size=111mb.Use
only one option at a time. Also, the hardware provider will n ot automatically extend a LUN to its
maximum size when specifying a drive list.
• The only Automagic set parameters supported are FTL, MXD,andSTS. When using the
STS parameter, you must select one of the available stripe sizes. To list stripe sizes, use the
detail subsytem command.

supported, such as SPINUP, SPINDOWN, BEEP,andPING.
