Good day, anyone know , is it possible somehow set sector size for VV to 512e except default 512n at 3par 8x and 9x storages?

Hi VTra,

Yes, it is possible to change the sector size from the default value.
Below are the commands to set and verify the sector size:

The sector size must be between 512 to 16384

Command to set the sector size :: "setvv -sctsz <Enter the sector size> <Name of the Virtual Volume>"
Command to verify the sector size :: "showvv -g <Name of the Virtual Volume>"

Note:: 1. The sector size must be a power of two from 512 to 16384. 
          2. Not permitted to change the sector size on exported Virtual Volumes.

Hope this helps.!

Hi VTra,

I am not sure about the document, but the option is available in the latest OS version of HPE 3PAR StoreServ Storage Systems.
Please see the command executed on my system and login into the array using "3paradm".

Hope this helps.!
