Parameters

ParameterDescription
ssdCache The name of the SSD cache to which you want to add SSDs. Enclose the name in square brackets ([ ]). If the SSD cache name contains special characters or consists only of numbers, you must enclose the name in double quotation marks (" ") inside square brackets.
addDrives The drives that you want to add to the SSD cache.

For high-capacity drive trays, specify the tray ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID value for the drive. For low-capacity drive trays, specify the tray ID value and the slot ID value for the drive. Tray ID values are 0 to 99 . Drawer ID values are 1 to 5 .

All slot ID maximums are 24. Slot ID values either begin at 0 or 1, depending on the tray model. Drive trays compatible with DE2000H, DE4000H, DE4000F, DE6000H, and DE6000F controllers have slot ID numbers starting at 0.

Enclose the tray ID value, the drawer ID value, and the slot ID value in square brackets ([ ]).

Notes

The SSD cache can contain any number of SSDs. The maximum size of the SSD cache is 5 TB, but might be less depending on the size of the controller’s primary cache.
