Assign Spare Drives:
You can add a spare drive from the list of the unused drives. The
spare chosen here is a Local spare and will automatically replace
any failed drive in the event of drive failure. The controller will
then rebuild data onto the replacement drive.
A logical drive composed in a none-redundancy RAID level
(NRAID or RAID 0) does not support spare drive rebuild.
Disk Reserved Space
The reserved space is a small section of disk space formatted for storing
array configuration and RAIDWatch program. Do not change the size of
reserved space unless you want your array to be accessed by controllers
using older firmware.
Logical Drive Assignments:
If you use two controllers for a dual-active configuration, a logical
drive can be assigned to either of the controllers to balance
workload. The default is primary controller, press
[ESC]
if change is
not preferred. Logical drive assignment can be changed any time
later.
Write Policy
This sub-menu allows you to set the caching mode for this specific
logical drive. “Default” is a neutral value that is coordinated with
the controller’s current caching mode setting, that you can see
bracketed in the write policy status.
