Compaq HSZ80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.3 Configuration and CLI Reference Guide
TRANSFER_RATE_REQUESTED=ASYNCHRONOUS
TRANSFER_RATE_REQUESTED=20MHZ (Default)
TRANSFER_RATE_REQUESTED=10MHZ
TRANSFER_RATE_REQUESTED=5MHZ
Specifies the maximum data transfer rate for the controller to use in communicating
with the device. You may need to limit the transfer rate to accommodate long cables
between the controllers and the device.
TRANSPORTABLE
NOTRANSPORTABLE (Default)
Indicates whether a disk can be accessed exclusively by StorageWorks controllers.
NOTE: Setting the switch to TRANSPORTABLE forces a disk to be LOCAL.
Set the TRANSPORTABLE switch for disks only.
Storagesets cannot be made transportable. Specify NOTRANSPORTABLE for all disks
used in RAIDsets, stripesets, mirrorsets, and sparesets. Transportable disks do not
contain any metadata or restricted areas on the disk. Therefore, transportable disks
forfeit the advantage metadata provides. Transportable disks can be moved to a non-
StorageWorks environment with their data intact.
If you specify the NOTRANSPORTABLE switch and there is no metadata on the
unit, the unit must be initialized. If you specify TRANSPORTABLE for a disk that
was originally initialized as a NOTRANSPORTABLE, you should initialize the disk.
If you specify NOTRANSPORTABLE and there is no metadata on the unit, the unit
must be initialized.
NOTE: Compaq recommends you avoid specifying TRANSPORTABLE unless
transportability of the device or media is imperative and there is no other way to
accomplish moving the data.
