HP Array Controller HSG V8.7 Software - Manual (Page 345)

CLI Commands B–73
See “Chunk Size,” page 3–47 for information regarding recommended
chunk size settings for your application.
DESTROY (Default)
NODESTROY
Controls how the metadata on the initialized container is to be handled.
Note The DESTROY and NODESTROY switches are only valid with
mirrorsets and striped mirrorsets.
Specify NODESTROY to preserve forced error metadata during the
initialization process. Use the NODESTROY switch only when a unit is
to be created from disk drives REDUCED from mirrorsets. This allows
the data on the container to be accessed by a mirrorset or striped
mirrorset unit. The NODESTROY switch is not valid for RAIDsets and
single-disk configurations.
Specify DESTROY to overwrite user data and forced error flags during
the initialization.
SAVE_CONFIGURATION
NOSAVE_CONFIGURATION (Default)
Instructs the controller whether to save the controller’s configuration to
the container being initialized. See also INITIAL_CONFIGURATION
parameter of “SET controller,” page B–103.
The SAVE_CONFIGURATION switch requires only one disk to be
initialized with this option. However, more disks may be used, if
desired, for redundancy.
Specify SAVE_CONFIGURATION to store a copy of the controller
configuration on the container being initialized. A new controller can
receive information from a container containing configuration
information saved with the SAVE_CONFIGURATION switch. If you
specify SAVE_CONFIGURATION for a multi-device storageset, such
as a stripeset, the complete controller configuration information is
stored on each disk drive in the storageset.
A disk drive initialized with the SAVE_CONFIGURATION switch
specified has slightly less storage space available for user data.
