Creating Storagesets 3–39
Choosing Switches for Storagesets and Devices
Depending upon the kind of storageset or device you are configuring,
you can enable the following options or “switches”:
n RAIDset and mirrorset switches
n Initialize switches
n Unit switches
n Device switches
Enabling Switches
If you use StorageWorks Command Console to configure the device or
storageset, you can set switches from the command console screens
during the configuration process. The Command Console automatically
applies them to the storageset or device. See Getting Started with
Command Console for information about using the Command Console.
If you use CLI commands to configure the storageset or device
manually, the procedures in “Configuring Storagesets with CLI
Commands,” page 3–55, indicate when and how to enable each switch.
Changing Switches
You can change the RAIDset, mirrorset, device, and unit switches at
any time. See “Changing Switches for a Storageset or Device,” page
3–66, for information about changing switches for a storageset or
device.
You cannot change the initialize switches without destroying the data
on the storageset or device. These switches are integral to the
formatting and can only be changed by re-initializing the storageset.
(Initializing a storageset is similar to formatting a disk drive; all of the
data is destroyed during this procedure.)
