Page 38: Drivetype onlinespare
If you use Custom method mode, choose one of the following methods to specify the drives to be
used in the array. Different arrays on the same controller can use different methods.
•
To specify individual drives, use the applicable convention (port:ID, box:bay, or port:box:bay).
•
To specify only the number of drives to use (not which specific drive IDs to use), enter that
number as the value for this option. For example, if you enter drive=3, HP SSA uses the
first three available drives to build or expand the array that you define in the remainder of
the script. HP SSA automatically determines which drives are suitable to use.
•
To use all available drives, enter an asterisk as the value for this option. An array that is
configured using this method cannot have a spare.
DriveType
The value that you enter for this option specifies the type of drive (SAS, SATA, or parallel SCSI)
that HP SSA must use to build the array.
OnlineSpare
The value for this option determines whether the array specified previously in the script will be
configured with spare drives.
Default value
Possible values
Method mode
In Configure action mode: None.
To specify exactly which drives to use as spares,
use the applicable convention (port:ID, box:bay,
or port:box:bay).
Custom
In Reconfigure action mode, HP SSA ignores any
value entered for this option and keeps any spares
that are already present in the configuration.
To specify only the number of spares (not the
exact IDs), enter that number as the value for this
option. HP SSA automatically selects only those
drives that are suitable for the array.
To specify that the array should not have spares,
enter None.
In Configure action mode: Yes (indicating one
spare).
Yes (indicating one spare)
No
Auto
In Reconfigure action mode, HP SSA ignores any
value entered for this option and keeps any spares
that are already present in the configuration.
