Planning Storage 2–25

Mirrorset Switches

Use the following switches to control how a mirrorset behaves to ensure data availability:

■ Replacement policy

■ Copy speed

■ Read source

■ Membership

For details on the use of these switches refer to

ADD MIRRORSET and SET mirrorset-name

commands in the Compaq StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.6 CLI

Reference Guide.

Partition Switches

The following partition switches are available when creating a partition:

■ Size

■ Geometry

For details on the use of these switches refer to

CREATE_PARTITION command in the Compaq

StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.6 CLI Reference Guide.

Initialization Switches

Initialization switches set characteristics for established storagesets before they are made

into units. The following kinds of switches effect the format of a disk drive or storageset:

■ Chunk Size (for stripesets and RAIDsets only)

■ Save Configuration

■ Destroy/Nodestroy

■ Geometry

Each of these switches is described in the following sections.

NOTE: After initializing the storageset or disk drive, you cannot change these switches without

reinitializing the storageset or disk drive.
