Also, the hardware provider will not automatically extend a LUN to its maximum size when specifying a drive list. • The only Automagic set parameters supported are FTL, MXD, and STS. When using the STS parameter, you must select one of the available stripe sizes. To list stripe sizes, use the detail subsytem command. • The maintenance command supports only blinking. Other maintenance options are not supported, such as SPINUP, SPINDOWN, BEEP, and PING. • The HP MSA FC VDS hardware provider supports HP MPIO Full-Featured DSM for MSA Active-Active configurations.
