Parameters

Parameter

Description

ssdCache

The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of the SSD cache to which you want to add 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.

addPhysicalDisks

The physical disks that you want to add to 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 add. For non-dense expansion enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value and the slot ID value for each SSD that you want to add. 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

The SSD cache can contain any number of SSDs. The maximum size of the SSD cache is 5 TB, but might be less depending on the size of the RAID controller module’s primary cache.
