Single-tiering or auto-tiering capability
sequential. Indicates that the read requests and the write requests operate on the data mostly by accessing the records one after the other in a physical order.
random. Indicates that the read requests and the write requests operate on the data mostly by accessing the records in an arbitrary order.
mixed. Indicates that the read requests and the write requests operate on the data sometimes in sequential order and sometimes in random order. Accessing in a mixed pattern is the default.
Enables the LUN to be accessible and available for use immediately after the LUN is created. To ensure accurate mapping relationships, use the ‑globalMapping option, the ‑hostmap option, or the ‑hostGroupMap option with the ‑active option.
Specifies the amount of space, in gigabytes, that the Oracle FS System sets aside for a LUN. This number can be less than the addressable logical capacity for the LUN as defined by the ‑capacity option. When the allocated capacity is less than the space that is requested for ‑capacity, the system creates what is called a thinly provisioned LUN.
If you do not provide a value for ‑allocatedCapacity, Oracle FS System sets the allocated amount of space to the size used by the source LUN.
Enables the auto-tiering capability, also called QoS Plus, as needed. An auto-tiered LUN monitors the data activity and automatically adjusts the QoS properties. Based on historical usage information, the system moves the data block to a Storage Class within the Storage Domain that can optimally store the data and best use the available storage types and capacities.
If you do not specify the singleTier or the autoTier option, the default is the setting for the source LUN. If the source LUN's setting is single tier, the source's copy defaults to single tier. If the source LUN's setting is autotier, the source's copy defaults to auto tier.
Identifies that the LUN can be used as a boot drive in the SAN.
Specifies the storage space in gigabytes for the volume. If you intend to create clones of this LUN, be sure to include in this value sufficient space for the clone repository. The value you specify for ‑capacity is sometimes referred to as addressable capacity.
If a Controller node fails, permits the Oracle FS System to enter conservative mode for the specified LUN. In conservative mode, data is written to the storage array before the write operation is reported as complete to the SAN host. Permitting conservative mode is the default.
Identifies the setting to use when copying or migrating data from one location to another.
auto. Balances data movement rate and system performance. If you do not use the ‑copyPriority option, the default priority is auto.
low. Completes copy operations and data migration without degrading overall system performance. Completion rate might be slower.
high. Completes copy operations and data migration as quickly as possible. System performance might be degraded.
Instructs the HBA to bypass the check of whether a host has written to a specific area of the LUN before the host reads from that same area. If this option is omitted, read-before-write error events can be generated.
If this option is omitted, reference tag checking is enabled by default.
Turns off dynamic data progression for the LUN. The Oracle FS System does not migrate the LUN data to other Storage Classes.
By default, reference tag checking is enabled.
Turns on dynamic data migration for the LUN. The Oracle FS System migrates the LUN data to the appropriate Storage Class based on the usage patterns of the data. By default, tier reallocation is enabled.
Specifies that the amount of storage is limited to the amount of space set by the ‑capacity option. If you do not use the ‑exactCapacity option, the amount of space used by the volume might be rounded up to an allocation segment boundary, resulting in a LUN that is larger than requested. Use this option when strict control over the LUN capacity is required, such as configuring a replication pair.
Permits access to the volume through the Fibre Channel (FC) ports. By default, FC access is enabled.
Maps the LUN globally to all hosts using the specified lun-number.
Specifies a mapping relationship between a LUN and a host group. You identify the host group mapping by providing a fully qualified name (FQN) or a unique ID (ID).
Identifies a mapping between a LUN and a SAN host. You identify the hostmap by providing a unique ID (ID) or a fully qualified name (FQN).
Renders the LUN volume invisible on the network. An inactive volume is not accessible and cannot be used by a SAN host.
read. Indicates that most of the access requests are for read operations.
write. Indicates that most of the access requests are for write operations.
mixed. Indicates that the number of access requests are similar for read operations and write operations.
For controller, provide a string that includes the FQN or ID of the Controller.
For slot, specify the HBA slot number.
For port, specify the port number.
Sets the QoS settings of the clone repository to match the QoS settings of the LUN.
Specifies the Storage Class for the filesystem metadata tier. If not provided, the system uses the highest performing Storage Class that is available.
Specifies a name for the copied LUN. The name that you provide must be from 1 through 40 characters. To prevent parsing errors, use double quotation marks around names containing one or more spaces or dashes.

Indicates that, in addition to the actual data, one set of parity bits exists for the logical volume. This parity level protects against the loss of one drive.
Indicates that, in addition to the actual data, two sets of parity bits exist for the logical volume. This parity level protects against the loss of one or two drives with a slight cost to write performance.
Indicates that no parity bits exist for the volume. Instead, the system writes the data in two different locations. This RAID level protects against the loss of at least one drive and possibly more drives with an improvement of the performance of random write operations.
Indicates that the level of RAID protection is determined by the Storage Class. For large form factor (capacity) hard disk drives, RAID 6 is the default level of protection. For the other Storage Classes, RAID 5 is the default level of protection.

The session times out.
Inspects the validity of the command syntax, not the semantics. Used to test the structure of a command without running the command. Does not determine whether errors would be produced if you issue a structurally correct command with the input provided.
Directs the CLI to prompt you to supply a session key when you issue the command. The CLI displays Sessionkey: as the prompt. To obtain a session key, log in with the ‑returnKey option specified. After the session is established, the session key is displayed in STDOUT. If you request a session key, the ‑sessionkey option is required syntax for all commands that are issued in a given session.
