Parameter
Description
physicalDiskMediaType
You must use this parameter when you have more than
one type of physical disk media in your storage array.
Valid physical disk media are:
•
hdd—Use this option when you have hard disk
drives.
•
ssd—Use this option when you have solid state
disks.
•
unknown—Use this option if you are not sure
what types of physical disk media are in the
expansion enclosure.
•
allMedia—Use this option when you want to
use all types of physical disk media that are in the
expansion enclosure.
The default value is hdd.
Security Type
The securityType parameter is valid for physical disks that are capable of self encrypting disk (SED). With SED, the
RAID controller module firmware can create a key and activate the physical disk security feature. The physical disk
security feature encrypts data as the data is written to the physical disk and decrypts the data as the data is read from
the physical disk. Without the key created by the RAID controller module, the data written to the physical disk is
inaccessible.
Before you can set the securityType parameter to capable or enabled, you must create a storage array security
key. Use the create storageArray securityKey command to create a storage array security key. These
commands are related to the security key:
•
create storageArray securityKey
•
enable diskGroup [diskGroupName] security
•
export storageArray securityKey
•
import storageArray securityKey
•
set storageArray securityKey
•
start secureErase (physicalDisk | physicalDisks)
