Changing Characteristics Through Switches
CLI command switches allow you another level of command options. There are
three types of switches that modify the storageset and unit characteristics:
■ Storageset switches
■ Initialization switches
■ Unit switches
The following sections describe how to enable/modify switches. They also
contain a description of the major CLI command switches.
Enabling Switches
The configuration procedure found in Chapter 5 of this guide indicates when and
how to enable each switch if you use CLI commands to configure the storageset or
device manually. The HP StorageWorks HSG60 and HSG80 Array Controller
and Array Controller Command Line Interface Reference Guide contains the
details of the CLI commands and their switches.
Changing Switches
You can change the RAIDset, mirrorset, device, and unit switches at any time.
You cannot change the initialize switches without destroying data on the
storageset or device. These switches are integral to the formatting and can only be
changed by re-initializing the storageset.
Caution: Initializing a storageset is similar to formatting a disk drive; all data
is destroyed during this procedure.
