Operations 68
You can use the drivetype parameter to specify the drive interface type. When selecting all physical
drives, and multiple drive types exist, you must specify the drive interface type. Mixed drives are not allowed
on the same array or logical drives. If all drives on a controller are the same type, this parameter is not
needed.
For drivetype, use one of the following valid options:
[drivetype=sas | satalogical | sata | saslogical | parallelscsi | ss_sas |
ss_sata | ?]
Command examples:
controller slot=5 ld 1 modify drives=? drivetype=sas
controller slot=5 array A modify drives=? drivetype=ss_sas
Viewing enclosure information
The enclosure keyword is a valid target for the show command, and it outputs the storage enclosure
information.
Syntax:
enclosure [ all | port:box | serialnumber=xxx ] show [ detail | status ]
where the target can be any valid storage controller.
Example commands:
controller slot=5 enclosure all show
controller slot=5 enclosure 4E:1 show detail
controller slot=5 enclosure serialnumber=UAB123456 show status
Viewing SSD physical drives
The ssdphysicaldrive keyword is a valid target for the show command, and it outputs the solid state
physical drives on the specified controller.
Syntax:
<target> ssdpd all show [detail]
where the target is any valid controller.
Example commands:
controller slot=5 ssdpd all show
controller slot=5 ssdpd all show detail
Viewing SSD information
The ssdinfo keyword provides a summary for solid state drives for the specified controller.
Syntax:
<target> show ssdinfo [detail | summary]
Command examples:
controller slot=1 show ssdinfo
controller all show ssdinfo
controller all show ssdinfo detail
controller all show ssdinfo summary
SmartCache in HPSSACLI
HP SmartCache allows a caching logical drive to be created on a solid state physical drive, and to be
associated with an existing data logical drive to provide a performance increase.
