Parameter
Description
diskGroupCount
Number of disk groups in the storage array. Use integer
values.
virtualDisksPerGroupCount
Number of equal-capacity virtual disks per disk group. Use
integer values.
hotSpareCount
Number of hot spares in the storage array. Use integer
values. For information about hot spares, see Assigning
Global Hot Spares.
segmentSize

module writes on a single physical disk in a virtual disk
before writing data on the next physical disk. Valid values
are
8
,
16
,
32
,
64
,
128
,
256
, or
512
. For information
about the
segmentSize
parameter, see Using the Auto
Configure Command.

turn off cache read prefetch, set this parameter to
FALSE
. To turn on cache read prefetch, set this
parameter to
TRUE
.
securityType
The setting to specify the security level when creating the
disk groups and all associated virtual disks.

Autoconfigure Storage Array Hot Spares
This command automatically defines and configures the hot spares in a storage array. You can run this command at any
time. This command provides the best hot spare coverage for a storage array.
Syntax
autoConfigure storageArray hotSpares
Parameters
None.
NOTE:
When you run the
autoconfigure storageArray hotSpares
command, the RAID controller
module firmware determines the number of hot spares to create based on the total number and type of physical
disks in the storage array.
