Parameter repositoryPhysicalDiskCount enclosureLossProtect drawerLossProtect Description repository virtual disk. Free capacity is defined as the free capacity between existing virtual disks in a disk group. For example, a disk group might have the following areas: virtual disk 1, free capacity, virtual disk 2, free capacity, virtual disk 3, free capacity. To use the free capacity following virtual disk 2, you would specify: freeCapacityArea=2 Run the show diskGroup command to determine if a free capacity area exists. The number of unassigned physical disks that you want to use for the replication repository virtual disk. The setting to enforce enclosure loss protection when you create the replication repository virtual disk. To enforce enclosure loss protection, set this parameter to TRUE. The default value is FALSE. The setting to enforce drawer loss protection when you create the replication repository virtual disk. To enforce drawer loss protection, set this parameter to TRUE. The default value is FALSE. Notes If the physical disks selected for the repositoryPhysicalDisks parameter are not compatible with other parameters (such as the repositoryRAIDLevel parameter), the script command returns an error, and Remote Replication is not activated. The error returns the amount of space that is needed for the replication repository virtual disk. The command can then be re-entered with the appropriate amount of space specified. If a value is entered for the repository storage space that is too small for the replication repository virtual disks, the RAID controller module firmware returns an error message that provides the amount of space that is needed for the replication repository virtual disks. The command does not try to activate Remote Replication. The command can be reentered using the value from the error message for the repository storage space value. When you assign the physical disks, if you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to TRUE and have selected more than one physical disk from any one enclosure, the storage array returns an error. If you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to FALSE, the storage array performs operations, but the disk group that you create might not have enclosure loss protection. When the RAID controller module firmware assigns the physical disks, if you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to TRUE, the storage array returns an error if the RAID controller module firmware cannot provide physical disks that result in the new disk group having enclosure loss protection. If you set the enclosureLossProtect parameter to FALSE, the storage array performs the operation even if it means that the disk group might not have enclosure loss protection. The drawerLossProtect parameter defines if data on a virtual disk is accessible if a drawer fails. When you assign the physical disks, if you set the drawerLossProtect parameter to TRUE and select more than one physical disk from any one drawer, the storage array returns an error. If you set the drawerLossProtect parameter to FALSE, the storage array performs operations, but the disk group that you create might not have drawer loss protection. You must set the enclosureLossProtect parameter and the drawerLossProtect parameter to the same value. Either both the parameters must be TRUE or both must be FALSE. If the enclosureLossProtect parameter and the drawerLossProtect parameter are set to different values, the storage array returns an error. 98
