Logical_Defaults

Description

The Logical_Defaults parameter defines the default logical drive settings to be used when creating logical drives. This parameter is only valid when AUTO is specified for Logical_Mode. Values for this parameter are expressed in the format: size:raidlevel:writecmode, where:

Size specifies the size of each logical drive. One logical drive is created on each array by using the given size. Size can take any of the following formats:
  • A positive integer – specifies the size in MB.
  • A percentage – specifies that a percentage of the total space must be used.
  • FILL – indicates that all available space on the array must be used.

Raidlevel specifies the RAID level for the logical drive. See Supported settings for RAID controllers for the list of RAID level settings supported by PRAID for each controller.

Writecmode is an optional parameter that specifies the write-cache mode for each logical drive. If the write-cache mode cannot be set for a specific configuration, this parameter is ignored. See Supported settings for RAID controllers for the list of write_cache mode settings supported by PRAID for each RAID controller.

Valid values are:
  • ON
  • OFF
  • AUTO uses the default write-cache mode for the controller (recommended for most users). This value is the default value when writecmode is not specified.

Example

Logical_Defaults = 50%:5EE:AUTO
