Logical_Defaults parameter

The Logical_Defaults parameter defines the default logical drive settings that should be used when creating logical drives.

Description

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 of the specified size is created on each array. Size can be in any of the following formats:
  • A positive integer specifies the size in MB.
  • A percentage specifies that a percentage of the total space should be used.
  • FILL indicates that all available space on the array should 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, then 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.) AUTO is the default value if writecmode is not specified.
