201
coercion= Enables or disables disk coercion. Disk coercion will
truncate the size of the physical drives. Makes different
size drives appear to be the same size. For example, a
90.1 GB drive would appear as the same size as an 89.8
GB drive. Important when using drives of different
manufacturers for rebuilds or as hot spares.
enable
disable
coercionmethod= The method of coercion.
GBTruncate Truncates the drive to the nearest 1-billion byte
boundary.
10GBTruncate Truncates the drive to the nearest 10-billion byte
boundary.
GrpRounding Truncates the drive using an intelligent algorithm. Allows
the maximum amount of usable space.
TableRounding Truncates the drive using a pre-defined coercion table.
smart= Enables or disables polling drive SMART status.
enable
disable
smartpollinginterval= Sets the time interval in number of minutes to poll the
drive SMART status.
1..1440
cacheflushinterval= Sets the time interval in seconds to flush the controller
writeback cache.
1..12
migrationstorage= Sets location to store the migration watermark.
ddf Uses the DDF area on the physical drives of the disk
array.
nvram Uses the NVRAM on the controller.
lunaffinity= Subsystems only. Enables or disables LUN affinity,
allowing LD access only to certain controller. For
subsystems with dual controllers.
enable
disable
pollinterval= Sets interval in seconds to poll enclosure SEP
information.
