Parameter
Description
(#) for the identifier. Identifiers can have a 
maximum of 30 characters.
physicalDisks
The physical disks that you want to use to create 
the SSD cache. For high-capacity expansion 
enclosures, specify the enclosure ID value, the 
drawer ID value, and the slot ID value for each 
physical disk that you want to assign to the SSD 
cache. For low-capacity expansion enclosures, 
specify the enclosure ID value and the slot ID value 
for each physical disk that you assign to the SSD 
cache. Enclosure ID values are 0 to 99. Drawer ID 
values are 0 to 4. Slot ID values are 0 to 31. 
Enclose the enclosure ID values, the drawer ID 
values, and the slot ID values in parentheses.
updateExistingVirtualDisks
This optional parameter specifies whether the SSD 
cache should be enabled for all existing virtual 
disks in the storage array. To enable the SSD cache 
for all existing virtual disks, set this parameter to 
TRUE. If you want to enable the SSD cache for 
individual virtual disks later, set this parameter to 
FALSE. The default value is TRUE.
Notes
A storage array can have only one SSD cache.
Only virtual disks created using hard disk physical disks can use the SSD cache. You cannot enable SSD 
cache on snapshot (legacy) virtual disks or snapshot images.
SSDs do not currently support self encrypting disk (SED). Therefore, virtual disks that have SED enabled 
cannot use the SSD cache.
If all of the SSDs in the SSD cache are data assurance (DA)-capable and the DA premium feature is 
enabled, DA is automatically enabled for the SSD cache and cannot be disabled. In addition, you cannot 
add non-DA capable SSDs to a DA-enabled SSD cache.
Create Storage Array Security Key
Description
This command creates a new security key for a storage array that has Self-Encrypting Disk (SED) physical 
disks. This command also sets the security definitions and sets the state to Security Enabled.
NOTE: Before you create a storage array security key, you must set the password for the storage 
array. Use the setStorageArray command to set the password for the storage array.
