Notes
The repositoryPhysicalDisks parameter supports both high-capacity expansion enclosures and
low-capacity expansion enclosures. A high-capacity expansion enclosure has drawers that hold the
physical disks. The drawers slide out of the expansion enclosure to provide access to the physical disks. A
low-capacity expansion enclosure does not have drawers. For a high-capacity expansion enclosure, you
must specify the identifier (ID) of the expansion enclosure, the ID of the drawer, and the ID of the slot in
which a physical disk resides. For a low-capacity expansion enclosure, you need only specify the ID of the
expansion enclosure and the ID of the slot in which a physical disk resides. For a low-capacity expansion
enclosure, an alternative method for identifying a location for a physical disk is to specify the ID of the
expansion enclosure, set the ID of the drawer to 0, and specify the ID of the slot in which a physical disk
resides.
If the physical disks that you select for the repositoryPhysicalDisks parameter are not compatible
with other parameters (such as the repositoryRAIDLevel parameter), the script command returns an
error, and Remote Replication (Legacy) is not activated. The error returns the amount of space that is
needed for the replication repository virtual disk. You can then re-enter the command, and specify the
appropriate amount of space.
If you enter a value 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 (Legacy). You can re-enter the command by 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. Both of the parameters must be either TRUE or FALSE. If the enclosureLossProtect
parameter and the drawerLossProtect parameter is set to different values, the storage array returns an
error.
Activate Storage Array Firmware
Description
This command activates firmware previously downloaded to the pending configuration area in the RAID
controller modules in the storage array.
