Planning Storage Configurations
94 HSG80 ACS Solution Software V8.8 for Novell NetWare Installation and Configuration Guide
Note: HP recommends that you DO NOT use SAVE_CONFIGURATION on every unit
and device on the controller.
Destroy/Nodestroy
Specify whether to destroy or retain your data and metadata when a disk is
initialized after it has been used in a mirrorset or as a single-disk unit.
Note: The DESTROY and NODESTROY switches are only valid for mirrorsets and
striped mirrorsets.
■ DESTROY (default) overwrites your data and forced-error metadata when a
disk drive is initialized.
■ NODESTROY preserves your data and forced-error metadata when a disk
drive is initialized. Use NODESTROY to create a single-disk unit from any
disk drive that has been used as a member of a mirrorset. See the
REDUCED
command in the HP StorageWorks HSG60 and HSG80 Array Controller and
Array Controller Command Line Interface Reference Guide for information
on removing disk drives from a mirrorset.
NODESTROY is ignored for members of a RAIDset.
Geometry
The geometry parameters of a storageset can be specified. The geometry switches
are:
■ CAPACITY—The number of logical blocks. The range is from 1 to the
maximum container size.
■ CYLINDERS—The number of cylinders used. The range is from 1 to
16777215.
■ HEADS—The number of disk heads used. The range is from 1 to 255.
■ SECTORS_PER_TRACK—The number of sectors per track used. The range
is from 1 to 255.
