Parameter Description
failoverAlertDelay
The failover alert delay time in minutes. The valid
values for the delay time are 0 to 60 minutes. The
default value is 5.
mediaScanRate
The number of days over which the media scan
runs. Valid values are disabled, which turns off
the media scan, or 1 day to 30 days, where 1 day is
the fastest scan rate, and
30 days is the slowest
scan rate. A value other than disabled or 1 to 30
does not allow the media scan to function.
password
The password for the storage array. Enclose the
password in double quotation marks (" ").
userRole
Defines the user role for the password. The user
role can be either:
• admin – Enables you to view and modify
storage array configurations
• monitor – Enables you to view storage array
configurations and monitor storage array health
conditions, but not modify the configuration
The userRole parameter is optional. If you do
not use the userRole parameter, the storage array
uses any password that you define as the
administrator password.
userLabel
The name for the storage array. Enclose the
storage array name in double quotation marks (" ").

used in conjunction with
isnsRegistration.
Notes
When you use this command, you can specify one or more of the optional parameters.
Cache Block Size
When you define cache block sizes, use the 4-KB cache block size for storage arrays that require I/O
streams that are typically small and random. Use the 8-KB cache block size when the majority of your I/O
streams are larger than 4 KB but smaller than 8 KB. Use the 16-KB cache block size or the 32-KB cache
block size for storage arrays that require large data transfer, sequential, or high-bandwidth applications.
The cacheBlockSize parameter defines the supported cache block size for all the virtual disks in the
storage array. Not all RAID controller module types support all cache block sizes. For redundant
