<target> modify ssd=#
where <target> is a controller and # is a number between 1 and 30. This number determines the delay
time in seconds, but you do not need to include units with the command.
Example command:
=> ctrl sn=P56350D9IP903J modify ssd=3
Re-enabling a failed logical drive
If a logical drive has failed and the data on it is invalid or non-recoverable, you can re-enable the logical
drive so that it can be reused. This process preserves the structure of the logical drive and merely deletes
data, whereas a delete command applied to a logical drive deletes the logical drive structure as well as the
data.
Syntax:
<target> modify reenable [forced]
Example command:
=> ctrl slot=3 ld 1 modify reenable forced
Changing the controller cache ratio
The controller cache ratio setting determines the amount of memory allocated to read and write operations.
Different types of applications have different optimum settings. You can change the ratio only if the controller
has a battery-backed cache (because only battery-backed cache can be used for write cache) and if there
are logical drives configured on the controller.
Syntax:
<target> modify cr=#/#|?
where <target> is a controller, and #/# is the cache ratio in the format read percentage/write
percentage.
Example command:
=> ctrl slot=3 modify cr=25/75
Enabling or disabling the drive cache
On controllers and drives that support physical drive write cache, you can use this command to enable or
disable the write cache for all drives on the controller.
CAUTION:
power failure occurs during a write process. To minimize this possibility, use a backup power
supply.
Syntax:
<target> modify drivewritecache=enable|disable|? [forced]
where <target> is a controller that supports drive write cache.
Example command:
=> ctrl slot=5 modify dwc=enable
Enabling or disabling the array accelerator
If the controller has an array accelerator, you can disable or enable it for specified logical drives.
Because physical drive write cache is not battery-backed, you could lose data if a
