A–6

When high priority is specified, expansion or rebuild occurs at the

expense of normal I/O operations. Although system performance is

affected, this setting provides better data protection because the array is

vulnerable to additional drive failures for a shorter time.

For more information on rebuild priority settings, refer to Appendix J of the

HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share System Installation and Upgrade

Guide.

surface_scan_delay

Specifies the length of time the array must be idle before a surface scan

starts. By default, the delay is set to two seconds; HP recommends that you

do not change the default unless you are requested to do so by your HP

Customer Support representative.

NOTE:

The configure

array command

starts the RAID parity initialization process on the array.

Performance of an array is not optimal until parity initialization is complete.

Example

In the following example, arrays

1

and 2 (which are attached to the administration and MDS servers) are

configured as described below:

sfs> configure array 1,2 luns_size=33%,all

Arrays 1 and 2 are configured as follows:

One disk group of eleven disks plus one spare disk

ADG redundancy

An administration LUN (or spare administration LUN)

A service LUN (or spare service LUN)

Two MDS LUNs, one using 33% of the remaining space in the disk group (after the administration

LUN and service LUN have been created), and the second using the remaining available space in the

disk group

Because the array is attached to the administration and MDS server, the LUNs (other than the administration

and service LUNs) are assigned the

mds

role.

A.5.2

configure server

The

configure server

command configures servers. This command is issued automatically each time

an Object Storage Server is booted and is used to configure the Object Storage Server. The

configure

server

command can also be used to complete the configuration of an Object Storage Server

configuration, for example, if a service LUN is made available after the server has booted.

Syntax

configure server server_name|all [endstate=end_state] [redo=redo_value]

Arguments

server_name|all

Required. Specify the names of the servers to be configured, or

all

to

configure all servers in the HP SFS system. You can specify a single server, a

comma-separated list of servers, or a range of servers.

endstate

Optional. Specify the state to which the servers are to be configured. Valid

values are

Unconfigured

,

Prepared

,

Booted

,

Db_Moved

,

Clusterized

, and

Configured

advanced than the current state of the servers that are being configured.
