slot_id
channel_id slot_id……
arcconf delete controller_id logicaldrive ld_id noprompt
Parameters
controller_id: Specifies the ID of the storage controller.
option: Specifies the LD attributes. Attributes include:
Stripesize: Strip size of the LD.
Legs: NPG of the LD. This attribute is available only for RAID 50 and RAID 60.
Name: Name of the LD.
Method: Initialization method of the LD. Options include build and default.
Wcache: IO Bypass. This attribute is available only when maxCache is created.
LDcache: Controller cache.
SSDOverProvisioningOptimization: SSD attribute, which is available only when a
RAID array is set by SSDs. Options include enable and disable. Enabling this option will
optimize SSDs by reallocating all used blocks before writing data to the SSDs, resulting in
faster initialization.
DataLD: ID of the accelerated LD.
size: Capacity of the LD. The unit is MB. Enter only the number here. For example, if you set the
value to 1024, it indicates that the driver capacity is 1024 MB. If you set the value to MAX, it
indicates that all the capacity of the physical drive is used to create the logical drive.
level: Level of the LD.
channel_id: Specifies the channel ID of a drive.
slot_id: Specifies the device ID of a drive.
