5.5.5 Assigning Spares at the Physical Device Level

Spares for 4K logical drives can be assigned at the physical device level.

If array/logical device is created with 4K SAS drives, then only logical devices that were created with 4K SAS drives are listed.
Note:

  • maxCache cannot be created using 4K SATA drives.

  • 512-byte maxCache cannot be assigned to 4K logical devices.

  • Drive interface types and drive block sizes cannot be mixed.

    For example, SATA drives and SAS drives of the same block size cannot be mixed; 512-byte drives and 4K drives of the same interface type cannot be mixed.
