Auto-Configure Behavior (Primary and Secondary settings)
The Auto-Configure Behavior feature is used to configure new unconfigured drives (ready-state drives) during reboot and hot-insertion based on the selected configuration options (primary and secondary settings). The primary setting of Auto-Configure Behavior is used until the maximum configuration for the selected option is reached. Secondary setting of Auto-Configure Behavior is used after the maximum configuration for primary Auto-Configure option is reached.
Primary and secondary Auto-Configure settings do not impact known unconfigured drives during boot and hot-insertion. Known unconfigured drives are drives that were previously configured as virtual disk, hot-spare, or non-RAID disk and are now in the Ready state because the configuration on those drives was deleted.
When primary and secondary Auto-Configure options are changed from Off to any other settings, all unconfigured drives (including known devices) present on the controller remain unconfigured or in ready state.
NOTE:Secured configuration options are available only when the controller security is enabled.
The following table provides options for the supported primary Auto-Configure Behavior:
| Settings | Description |
|---|---|
| Off | The Auto-Configure Behavior feature is disabled. All new unconfigured drives remain in unconfigured or ready state. Existing configured drives are not affected when primary, secondary, or both Auto-Configure settings are changed to
Off.
NOTE: Applications use
Off and
Ready terms interchangeably for this setting.
|
| Non–RAID | New unconfigured drives are configured as non-RAID disks during boot or during hot-insertion. All known unconfigured drives and existing configured drives remain unaffected during boot, hot-removal, or reinsertion. |
| Secured Non-RAID Disk | New unconfigured drives are configured as non-RAID disks during boot or hot-insertion. All known unconfigured drives and existing configured drives remain unaffected during boot, hot-removal, or reinsertion. SEDs are secured with the controller security key. |
NOTE:Secondary Auto-Configure settings may not be supported on certain drive types. In such cases, the only available secondary Auto-Configure behavior option is Off.
