Users may proceed with array
configuration, e.g., including this array
in a logical volume.
Array initialization can take a long time especially for those
comprised of large capacity. Setting to “Online” means the array is
immediately accessible and that the controller will complete the
initialization when IO demands become less intensive.
Stripe Size:
This menu allows you to change the
array stripe size. Setting to an
incongruous value can severely drag
the performance. This item should
only be changed when you can be sure
of the performance gains it might bring
you.
Listed below are the default values for an array. The default value
for stripe size is determined by controller Optimization Mode and
the RAID level chosen for an array.
Opt. for Sequential I/O Opt. for Random I/O
RAID0 128 32
RAID1 128 32
RAID3 16 4
RAID5 128 32
When you are done with setting logical drive preferences, press ESC
and use your arrow keys to select “Create Logical Drive?”. Press
ENT for two seconds to proceed.
Beginning Initialization
Press ESC to return to the previous
menu. Use ▼ or ▲ to choose “Create
Logical Drive,” then press ENT for two
seconds to start initializing the logical
drive.
The On-Line Mode:
If online initialization method is
applied, the array will be available for
use immediately. The array
initialization runs in the background
while data can be written onto it and
users can continue configuring the
RAID system.
