Parameters

Table 1.
Parameter Description
drive
The location of the drive that you want to use for a hot spare. For dense expansion enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID value for the drive. For non-dense expansion enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value and the slot ID value for the drive. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99. Drawer ID values are 0 to 4 . Slot ID values are 0 to 59. Enclose the enclosure ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID value in square brackets ([ ]).
  • NOTE: The drive parameter supports both dense expansion enclosures and non-dense expansion enclosures. A dense expansion enclosure has drawers that hold the drives. The drawers slide out of the expansion enclosure to provide access to the drives. A non-dense expansion enclosure does not have drawers. For a dense expansion enclosure, you must specify the identifier (ID) of the expansion enclosure, the ID of the drawer, and the ID of the slot in which a drive resides. For a non-dense expansion enclosure, you need only specify the ID of the expansion enclosure and the ID of the slot in which a drive resides. For a non-dense expansion enclosure, an alternative method for identifying a location for a drive is to specify the ID of the expansion enclosure, set the ID of the drawer to 0, and specify the ID of the slot in which a drive resides.
Example: setPhysicalDisk[1,1,4] securityID="V2zdvLTdGWdWyTALGHns";
