Remove Physical Disks From SSD Cache

Description

This command decreases the capacity of the SSD cache by removing Solid State Disks (SSDs).

Syntax

set ssdCache [
                                 ssdCacheName]
                                 removePhysicalDisks=(
                                 enclosureID1,drawerID1,slotID1 ... enclosureIDn,drawerIDn,slotIDn)

Parameters

Parameter

Description

ssdCache

The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of the SSD cache from which you want to remove SSDs. Enclose the identifier in square brackets ([ ]). If the SSD cache name contains special characters or consists only of numbers, you also must enclose the identifier in double quotation marks (" ") inside square brackets.

removePhysicalDisks

The physical disks that you want to remove from the SSD cache. For dense expansion enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID value for each SSD that you want to remove. For non-dense expansion enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value and the slot ID value for each SSD that you want to remove. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99. Drawer ID values are 0 to 4. Slot ID values are 0 to 31. Enclose the enclosure ID values, the drawer ID values, and the slot ID values in parentheses.

Notes

You cannot remove all of the SSDs from the SSD cache using this command; at least one SSD must remain in the SSD cache. If you want to completely remove the SSD cache, use the delete ssdCache command instead.
