Promise Technology Vess R3600 Series User Manual

Following setting is shared if there are dual controllers:
coercion= To enable or disable disk coercion functionality. Disk coercion will
truncate the size of the physical disks but will make different sized drives
appear as though they are similarly sized. For example, a 90.1 GB drive
would appear as the same size as an 89.8 GB drive.
This is important when using drives of different manufacturers when
performing rebuilds or in use as hot spares.
Coercion settings are shared if there are dual controllers:
enable
disable
coercionmethod= The method of coercion.
GBTruncate Truncates the drive to the nearest 1-billion byte boundary.
10GBTruncate Truncates the drive to the nearest 10-billion byte boundary.
GrpRounding Truncates the drive using an intelligent algorithm.
This allows the maximum amount of usable space while at the same time
attempting to keep drives in the same size group the same size. For
example a 253 GB drive would appear the same size as a 248 GB drive.
TableRounding This uses a pre-dened coercion table to determine how much
will be truncated.
smart= Enables or disables polling drive SMART status.
