Changing Characteristics Through Switches
CLI command switches allow the user 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
If you use SWCC to configure the device or storageset, you can set switches from
SWCC during the configuration process, and SWCC automatically applies them
to the storageset or device. See the SWCC online help for information about using
SWCC.
If you use CLI commands to configure the storageset or device manually, the
configuration procedure found in Chapter 5 of this guide will show you when and
how to enable each switch. The HP StorageWorks HSG60 and HSG80 Array
Controller and Array Controller Software Command Line Interface (CLI)
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.
