set vdisk
Description Changes parameters for a specified vdisk.
Syntax
set vdisk
[name
new-name ]
[owner a|b]
[spin-down-delay delay]
vdisk
Parameters name new-name
Optional. A new name for the vdisk. For vdisk syntax, see "Command syntax" (page 20).
owner a|b
Optional. The new owner: controller A or B.
CAUTION: Before changing the owning controller for a vdisk, you must stop host I/O to the vdisk’s
volumes. Volume mappings are not affected.
spin-down-delay delay
Optional. Sets the period of inactivity after which the vdisk’s disks and dedicated spares
automatically spin down, from 1–360 minutes. Setting the delay to 1–360 minutes will enable spin
down; setting the delay to 0 will disable spin down.
NOTE: Drive spin down affects disk operations as follows:
• Spun-down disks are not polled for SMART events.
• Operations requiring access to disks may be delayed while the disks are spinning back up.
vdisk
Name or serial number of the vdisk to change. For vdisk syntax, see "Command syntax" (page 20).
Example Rename vdisk VD1, change its owner to controller A, and set its spin-down delay to 10 minutes:
# set vdisk name VD2 owner a spin-down-delay 10 VD1
Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-01-21 12:29:15)
