| 282 | ==== Configure coercion (limit disk size to maximize compatibility with different vendors) ==== |
| 283 | |
| 284 | All 4 Tb drives do not have the exact same size so it's recommend to use coercion feature to floor the actual size a bit to maximize compatibiliy. |
| 285 | |
| 286 | Get current value: |
| 287 | {{{ |
| 288 | server:~# megacli -AdpGetProp CoercionMode -a0 |
| 289 | |
| 290 | Adapter 0: Coercion Mode : Disabled |
| 291 | }}} |
| 292 | |
| 293 | Available values are 0 for disabled, 1 to floor at 128Mb, 2 to floor at 1Gb, I personnally recommend going for 1G: |
| 294 | {{{ |
| 295 | server:~# megacli -AdpSetProp CoercionMode 2 -a0 |
| 296 | |
| 297 | Adapter 0: Set Coercion Mode to 2 success. |
