disk-config layout
Switches among five modes of disk-space allocation between SteelHead EX and VSP.
Syntax
disk-config layout {vsp | granite|vsp_granite |vsp_ext | vsp_granite_ext}
Parameters
vsp | Specifies VSP standalone storage mode to allot all the disk space for VSP functionality. If Granite is not licensed, this mode is not available. |
granite | Specifies Granite stand-alone storage mode to allot most of the disk space for Granite storage, while leaving a minimum amount for VSP functionality. If Granite is not licensed, this mode is not available. |
vsp_granite | Specifies VSP and Granite stand-alone storage mode to evenly divide disk space between VSP functionality and Granite. If Granite is not licensed, this mode is selected by default. |
vsp_ext | Specifies that this mode is for extended VSP storage mode. This mode allots all the disk space for VSP functionality. If Granite is not licensed, this mode is not available. In EX v2.1, disk space is reclaimed for use in storing non-ESXi-based virtual machine data as well as converting non-ESXi virtual machine format to ESXi virtual machine format. |
vsp_granite_ext | Specifies that this mode is for extended VSP and Granite storage mode. This mode evenly divides disk space between VSP functionality and Granite. In EX v2.1, disk space is reclaimed for use in storing non-ESXi-based virtual machine data as well as converting non-ESXi virtual machine format to ESXi virtual machine format. |
Usage
When you run this command, the CLI returns the following alert:
Switching the layout is a destructive operation. Type 'disk layout <mode selected> confirm'to confirm. The box will reboot after this.
To complete the action, you must enter the confirmation as prompted.
If you want to switch disk-layout modes, the currently configured mode does not appear as an option in the CLI. In the following example, the disk-layout mode is set to the vsp_granite_ext option and does not appear as an option in the CLI:
Edge1 (config) # disk-config layout?
<disk layout>
granite
vsp
vsp_granite
vsp_ext
Edge1 (config) # disk-config layout vsp
Switching the layout is a destructive operation.
You will lose your unconverted VMs.
In addition, you will have to recreate your local datastore.
Please ensure your data has been backed up.
Type 'disk layout vsp confirm' to proceed with this operation.
If successful, the box will immediately reboot.
Note: You cannot choose the disk-space allocation mode that is currently in use. If you choose the current disk-space allocation mode, it is rejected as an invalid disk layout.
