Personality Management

Perform the following steps to change the behavior mode and parameters:

  1. In the Change Personality page, select the Change Auto-configure behavior check box.
  2. From the Select Behavior Mode drop-down list, select an appropriate behavior mode.
    The available behavior modes are based on the current firmware support.
    • NONE (Unconfigured Good) – If a user selects this option when a new disk or an old disk with no DDF (Data Disk Format) metadata is inserted in the system, it becomes Unconfigured Good Drive. The Unconfigured Good Drive keeps in Unconfigured Good after a reboot.
    • JBOD – If all the drives are in unconfigured good state, once you select the JBOD mode, all the drives are automatically converted to JBOD drives. When a new disk or old disk with new DDF metadata is inserted in the system, it becomes a JBOD. The Unconfigured Good Drive is automatically converted to JBOD after a reboot.
    • Single Drive RAID 0 – If a user selects this option, then all the physical drives are automatically converted to Single Drive RAID 0.
    • Single Drive RAID 0 WB – If a user selects this option, then all the physical drives are automatically converted to Single Drive RAID 0 With Write Back.
    • Secure JBOD – If all the physical drives are in unconfigured good state, once you select the JBOD mode, all the physical drives are automatically converted to secure JBOD physical drives.
    • Secure Single Drive RAID 0 – This option converts all the UGOOD physical drives to Secure Single Drive Raid0 on secure physical drives and Single Drive Raid0 on normal physical drives.
    • Secure Single Drive RAID 0 WB – This option auto-secures the SED drive to Single Drive RAID 0 Write Back.
    Note:

    For firmware versions earlier than 52.26.3-5250, Auto-Configure behavior is set to JBOD and cannot be configured for all the controller models.

    For firmware versions 52.26.3-5250 or later, Auto-Configure behavior can be configured.

    For HPE MR200 controllers, by default it is set to JBOD.

    For HPE MR400 controllers, by default it is set to None.
