Arguments
Required
arguments
[-r|-devices]
context-path
* List of one or more devices for which to change the transfer size. Wildcards are permitted. Entries
must be separated by commas.
[-l|--limit]
limit
* Transfer size in bytes. Maximum number of bytes to transfer as one operation per device. Specifies
the size of read sector designated for transfer in cache. Setting this value smaller implies more host I/O
outside the transfer boundaries. Setting the value larger may result in faster transfers. Valid values must
be multiples of 4K.
Range: 40K-128M.
See About transfer-size in the batch-migrate start command.
* - argument is positional.
Description
If the target devices are rebuilding when this command is issued, the rebuild is paused and resumed using the new transfer-size.
NOTE: If there are queued rebuilds, the rebuild may not resume immediately.
Example
Set the transfer-size on a specified device to 1M:
VPlexcli:/> rebuild set-transfer-size --devices /clusters/cluster-1/devices/testdevice --
limit 1M
Set the transfer-size for all devices to 2M:
VPlexcli:/> rebuild set-transfer-size /clusters/*/devices/* 2M
Set the transfer-size for all distributed devices to 10K:
VPlexcli:/distributed-storage/distributed-devices> rebuild set-transfer-size * 10k
