New Disk Model for OCI 6.4.3

JBARBALACE — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:29:35 GMT

Hello,

I need to add a new disk model to the new disk model file. Not a big deal, I've done that before, but I've hit a small speed bump. This is a FLASH drive, specifically a FAST VP drive that does not have an RPM associated with. One of the required fields is the RPM of the disk. Is there a way around this? Can we leave that field empty?

Here is the current string:

P410M200CLAR200,MICRON,P410M200CLAR200,<there is no RPM associated with FAST VP drive>,200,SAS,,,,

Thanks!

Julia

Put 1000000 in for SSD. When you define the type as SSD, the OCI UI is smart enough to display a blank field for RPM

Ah, Ok. Should I change that from SAS to SSD then? I know it's coming up as SAS in Unisphere and on the Vendor site.

If it is a SSD, SSD is the best bet as that is the only way to discern in OCI SSD versus non-SSD

Well, I added the RPM and it seems happy for the moment. OCI is reporting it as SSD in the "Type" field of the Disks microview.

Thanks again!
