Set Thin Virtual Disk Attributes

Description

This command defines the properties for a thin virtual disk. You can use the parameters to define properties for one or more thin virtual disks.

Syntax

set (virtualDisk [virtualDiskName] | virtualDisks [virtualDiskName1 ... virtualDiskNameN] | virtualDisk <"wwID">) [newCapacity=capacityValue]
                                 [repositoryMaxCapacity=capacityValue]  [repositoryExpansionPolicy=(automatic|manual)]  [warningThresholdPercent=warningThresholdPercentValue]
                                 [addRepositoryCapacity=capacity-spec]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`virtualDisk` or `virtualDisks`	The name of the specific virtual disk for which you want to define properties. (You can enter more than one virtual disk name if you use the `virtualDisks` parameter.) Enclose the virtual disk name in double quotation marks (" ") inside of square brackets ([ ]).
`virtualDisk`	The World Wide Identifier (WWID) of the virtual disk for which you are setting properties. You can use the WWID instead of the virtual disk name to identify the virtual disk. Enclose the WWID in angle brackets (< >).
`newCapacity`	Increase the virtual capacity of the thin virtual disk. This is the value that the virtual disk will report to a host that is mapped to the virtual disk. Values smaller or equal to the existing capacity will cause an error. NOTE: The maximum capacity is 250 GB.
`repositoryMaxCapacity`	Set the maximum capacity of the repository virtual disk. The value must not be smaller that the physical capacity of the repository virtual disk. If the new value results in a reduction in capacity to a level below the warning threshold, the command will produce an error.
`repositoryExpansionPolicy`	Set the expansion policy to `automatic` or `manual`. When you change the policy from `automatic` to `manual`, the maximum capacity value (quota) changes to the physical capacity of the repository virtual disk.
`warningThresholdPercent`	Adjust the warning threshold. If a change to this value would cause a warning condition, the command will fail and produce an error.
`addRepositoryCapacity`	Allocate capacity from the free extent of the disk pool. If insufficient space is available the command fails.

Notes

When you use this command, you can specify one or more of the optional parameters.
