Configuring Arrays on HP Smart Array Controllers Reference Guide

HP Array Configuration Utility 81
Typically used after a Join command, this option ensures the proper logical volume numbering is set, for
example, the boot volume is ID 1.
Do not mix Renumber and Join operations in the same script, because ACU Scripting does not update its
internal state after a renumber. If other commands are mixed with Renumber, commands targeting specific
volumes might target the incorrect volume.
Repeat
The value you enter for this option specifies the number of times that ACU is to repeat this logical drive
configuration.
Use one of the following values:
• N—In Configure mode, ACU creates N new logical drives.
• MAX—ACU creates the maximum number of logical drives possible. The number of drives created
depends on the number of existing drives and the maximum number of logical drives supported by the
controller.
You must specify the logical drive ID as Next. This Size option controls the size of each logical drive, or if
the size is set to MAX, the size of the volumes is set to consume all available space on the array.
ResourceVolumeOwner
This option specifies that an existing logical drive (N) should be a snapshot resource volume. The option also
specifies the owner logical drive ID. If you do not specify this command on some older model controllers, the
logical drive remains a normal data volume.
Sectors
This option specifies the number of sectors that are to comprise each track. Enter 32 to disable MaxBoot or
63 to enable it.
• For new logical drives, the default setting is 63 if the logical drive is larger than 502 GB. Otherwise, the
default setting is 32.
• For an existing logical drive, the default setting is the existing setting.
Logical drive performance is likely to decrease with MaxBoot enabled.
ShrinkSize
In Reconfigure mode, this option specifies the resulting size of the logical drive (in MB) to be reduced.
ShrinkSize is not valid in Configure mode.
Size
This parameter specifies the size of the logical drive.
Use the following values to set the size:
• N—The size in MB
• MAX—Uses all available unused space in the array for the logical drive. This value is the default.
• MAXMBR—Creates the largest size of volume supportable by a 32-bit MBR (2TiB)
