2. Toggle Write Policy
The Pak/Drvs column (top left) lists all the current arranged packs and their sizes. The size
specified for each pack is the sum of the capacity of the drives in the pack.
NOTE If the drives in a pack are not the same size, then the size of the pack is a product of the
number of drives in the pack and the smallest drive in the pack.
The Sys Drv column (lower left) lists all the created system drives, their sizes, RAID levels,
and write policies. If you have not defined a system drive, the Sys Drv column is empty.
The column updates as you define the system drives.
NOTE Drives in an arranged pack that have not been configured into a system drive will be
automatically configured as standby (SBY) drives.
The System Drive Definition menu has two options: Create System Drive and Toggle Write
Policy. The following instructions allow you to create a system drive.
