Enable Restrict Reassign to One Block

Page 59 highlights

Chapter 4 Configuration • Enable SAF-TE Use of UPS - Enables monitoring of uninterruptable power supply (if supported by the system enclosure). This is not currently supported by the HP Rack Storage/12FC. • Enable Restrict Reassign to One Block - Restricts a reassign to the failing block. If disabled, reassigns will be for the entire current I/O blocks, not just all of the failing blocks. • Enable Smart Large Host Transfers - For transfers larger than the stripe size, allows selection of Coalesce (fewer disconnects) on host data transfers. • Enable Elevator Ordering of Device Queues - Attempts to keep the drive heads moving in the same direction as long as possible to improve performance. Assumes LBAs are physically sequentially ordered. • Enable Coalesce Device Queues - Joins data from adjacent I/Os into a single I/O to improve performance. • Enable Super Read Ahead (SRA) - Extends the Read Ahead process by always reading an extra cache line on a read request and reading an additional cache line when a cache hit occurs. Most useful for applications where read-sequential data is high. • Enable True Verification of Data - Performs a true verify with data comparison. • Enable Write Through Verify - During error handling, this turns on Force Unit Access for reads and writes. • Enable Operational Fault Management - Allows the controller to take autonomous actions when a failure occurs. Do not disable this function unless specifically instructed to do so as part of a troubleshooting diagnostic activity. Disable (by checking) or Enable (by un-checking) the following option: • Disable Wide Transfer on Host - When disabled, the controller will negotiate only narrow data transfers. Doing this unnecessarily will result in slower performance. 53

where read-sequential data is high.
Enable True Verification of Data
- Performs a true verify with data
comparison.
Enable Write Through Verify
- During error handling, this turns on
Force Unit Access for reads and writes.

- Allows the controller to take
autonomous actions when a failure occurs. Do not disable this function
unless specifically instructed to do so as part of a troubleshooting
diagnostic activity.
Disable (by checking) or Enable (by un-checking) the following option:
