Command Line Interface Reference Guide
Note: Limit the transfer rate to accommodate long cables between the controllers and
the device.
Note: This switch is used by all container types.
TRANSPORTABLE
NOTRANSPORTABLE
Indicates whether a disk can be accessed exclusively by controllers (the
TRANSPORTABLE switch is used for disks only).
Note: This switch works only if the disk drive is not used by a higher level assembly,
such as a storageset or a unit, and is used by disk containers only.
■ Storagesets cannot be made transportable.
■ Specify NOTRANSPORTABLE for all disks used in RAIDsets, stripesets,
mirrorsets, and sparesets.
■ Transportable disks do not contain any metadata or restricted areas on the
disk. Therefore, transportable disks forfeit the advantage metadata
provides.
■ Transportable disks can be moved to a non HP StorageWorks
environment with their data intact.
■ If you specify the NOTRANSPORTABLE switch and there is no metadata
on the unit, the unit must be initialized.
■ If you specify TRANSPORTABLE for a disk that was originally initialized
as a NOTRANSPORTABLE, you should initialize the disk.
■ HP recommends that you avoid specifying TRANSPORTABLE unless
transportability of the device or media is imperative, and there is no other
way to accomplish moving the data. Examples:
To set the data transfer rate of DISK20000 to 5MHz, enter:
SET DISK20000 TRANSFER_RATE_REQUESTED=5MHZ
