HotspareDrives Keyword
HotspareDrives is an optional keyword, specifying the hotspares
to assign to the array. The syntax for listing hotspares is the same as
the
Drives Keyword on page B-7 . If HotspareDrives is not specified,
no hotspares are assigned to the array.
Notes:
■ HotspareDrives creates only dedicated hotspares. If the
same drive is assigned to protect multiple arrays, only the
last array that drive is assigned to is protected.
■ HotspareDrives does not verify that the available space
on the specified hotspares is sufficient to serve as failover
for the array.
■ When assigning hotspares to a multilevel array,
HotspareDrives assigns all the hotspares in the list to all
arrays within the multilevel array.
Example
HotspareDrives=0:0:0,0:1:0
InitializeAll Keyword
If you want the ACU to initialize all drives connected to the
controller and delete any existing arrays before any new arrays are
created, even those that are not specified in any
Drives keyword
definition, specify InitializeAll=yes . Otherwise, the ACU
initializes only those drives specified by the Drives keyword.
Caution: Initializing a drive automatically deletes any existing
arrays with that drive as their member.
