When disk drives of different capacities are used in the same array, coercion
reduces the usable capacity of the larger disk drive(s) in order to match the
smallest capacity drive.
For more information, see “Capacity Coercion” on page 252.
9. Select a coercion method from the Coercion Method dropdown menu. The
choices are:
• GB Truncate – (Default) Reduces the useful capacity to the nearest
1,000,000,000 byte boundary.
• 10GB Truncate – Reduces the useful capacity to the nearest
10,000,000,000 byte boundary.
• Group Rounding – Uses an algorithm to determine how much to
truncate. Results in the maximum amount of usable drive capacity.
• Table Rounding – Applies a predefined table to determine how much to
truncate.
