NOTE:

The SSPState option is valid only for controllers that enable SSP on a controller basis,

such as the MSA1000 or the Smart Array Cluster Storage controllers. RA4x00 controllers support

SSP that is enabled on a logical drive basis, and use the LogicalDriveSSPState option

(page 39)

instead.

If you enable SSP, you must also specify an adapter for one or more logical drives by using the

SSPAdaptersWithAccess option

(page 40)

. Otherwise, SSP is automatically disabled.

SurfaceScanDelay

Enter a number between 1 and 30 to specify the duration of the surface scan delay in seconds.

Video performance options

To optimize the controller performance for video, set values for the following options as indicated:

DPOEnable = No

ElevatorSortEnable = Yes

IRPEnable = No

In addition, do the following:

•

Set the

MNPDelay

to any integer value from 1 to 60 (units are minutes). If you want to disable

this option, set a value of zero instead.

•

Set the

QueueDepth

to any integer value from 2 to 32, or to Auto.

Array category

The Array category has the following options:

•

“Array” (page 37)

•

“Drive” (page 37)

•

“DriveType” (page 38)

•

“OnlineSpare” (page 38)

Array

Enter a letter or pair of letters to identify the array you are creating or reconfiguring, and observe

these additional limitations:

•

In Configure mode, HP SSA creates a new array. The value that you specify for the array

option must be the next available letter or pair of letters in the sequence, according to the

number of existing arrays on the controller. AA follows Z, and BA follows AZ.

•

In Reconfigure mode, HP SSA can either create a new array or reconfigure an existing array.

In this case, the value that you specify can identify an existing array, or it can correspond to

the next available array letter or pair of letters in the existing configuration.

Drive

You can use this option to add a drive to an existing array (to expand an array) or to build a new

array. If you are expanding an array, each drive that you add must have a capacity no less than

that of the smallest drive already in the array. The added and existing drives in the array must all

be the same type (for example, SAS or SATA).

If the value of the

ClearConfigurationWithDataLoss

option is Yes, you can use the

Drive

option to remove drives from an array. However, the

ClearConfigurationWithDataLoss

option is now deprecated.

If you use Auto method mode, HP SSA configures all the available drives on the controller into one

array. If the drives are of different capacities, HP SSA determines the capacity of the smallest drive

and uses the same amount of space on all other available drives.
