— CAPACITY
— CYLINDERS
— HEADS
— SECTORS_PER_TRACK
• CHUNKSIZE
• DESTROY and NODESTROY
• SAVE_CONFIGURATON and NOSAVE_CONFIGURATION
These switches are described in the following paragraphs:
CAPACITY=n (1 to the maximum container size in blocks)
NOTE: When executing the INITIALIZE command with the switch CAPACITY, it appears
that the command did not complete because the SHOW DISKxxxxx command does not
display any change to the SIZE. It shows the total size of the disk, not the new size.
The new size is not seen until the corresponding UNIT has been added. The
command SHOW Dx will display the new size.
Example:
HSG80> INITIALIZE DISKxxxxx CAPACITY=4000000
HSG80> SHOW DISKxxxxx
NOTE: The new capacity is not seen after this command.
To show the new size, enter:
HSG80> ADD UNIT Dx
HSG80> SHOW Dx
CYLINDERS=n (1 to16,777,215)
HEADS=n (1 to 255)
SECTORS_PER_TRACK=n (1 to 255)
These commands are used to set the geometry switches reported to the host.
NOTE: The geometry switches should not be used unless there is a compatibility problem
with the existing defaults.
The geometry switches for the INITIALIZE command are ignored when you create
partitions. The geometry switches supplied with the CREATE_PARTITION command are
used by the unit.
CHUNKSIZE=DEFAULT (default)
CHUNKSIZE=n
Specifies the block chunk size to be used for RAIDsets and stripesets. You can
specify the chunk block size by entering CHUNKSIZE=n, or allow the controller
to set the chunk size by entering CHUNKSIZE=DEFAULT.
