Array
Enter a letter or pair of letters to identify the array that is to be created or reconfigured, and observe these
additional limitations:
• In Configure mode, HP SSA creates a new array. The value that you specify for the array option must
be the next available letter or pair of letters in the sequence, according to the number of existing arrays
on the controller. AA follows Z, and BA follows AZ.
• In Reconfigure mode, HP SSA can either create a new array or reconfigure an existing array. In this
case, the value that you specify can identify an existing array, or it can correspond to the next available
array letter or pair of letters in the existing configuration.
ArrayR0
The option ArrayR0 creates a single drive array with a RAID0 volume for each argument, which acts as an
ID for one or more drives. ArrayR0 specifies the physical drives for configured RAID0 arrays and volumes. A
comma-separated list specifies the location of physical drives used in the array. When ArrayR0 is specified,
DriveType is the only other valid command in the array section.
In Configure mode, the physical drives listed are used to create the new array.
In Reconfigure mode, all physical drives in the array must be listed here. Any additional physical drives listed
are added to the array for an array expansion.
Command options:
• X:Y,...: Port: Id for controllers that use Port/Id drive numbering schemes. For Box/Bay numbering
schemes, use Box:Bay.
• X:Y:Z,...: Port:Box:Bay for SAS controllers
• N: N number of drives will be used
• *: Use all unconfigured drives
CachingArray
This option specifies the Caching Array ID.
• In Configure mode, HP SSA creates a new caching array. The value that you specify for the array option
must be the next available array letter in the existing configuration. AA follows Z, and BA follows AZ.
• In Reconfigure mode, the array letter identifies an existing array, or it can identify the next available
array letter in the existing configuration to create a new array.
