Note
If this is the first logical drive on this controller, the
stripe size you select for the first logical drive will be
fixed for all subsequent logical drives in all arrays on
the controller. Available stripe sizes are 8, 16, 32, and
64.
☞
If the Stripe Size(KB) definition field is changeable (is
displayed in cyan color), use the right arrow key to select the
Stripe Size(KB) definition field, then...
☞
Press the + or - key to find your desired stripe size,
OR
☞
Press Spacebar to display a box of available choices, use the
arrow key to select your desired stripe size, then press Enter.
Next, we set a size for this logical drive based on the maximum available
capacity.
You can set logical drive size in terms of either physical capacity or logical
capacity. Logical capacity takes into account overhead for fault tolerance,
spare drives, etc.
If you intend to set up more than one logical drive in this array, then set the
capacity for the first logical drive somewhere below the maximum to leave
space for additional logical drives.
☞
Use the right arrow key to select either the Physical or Logical
Capacity(GB) definition field, then type a numeric decimal value
for the physical or logical capacity to be used in this logical
drive.
Finally, let’s add the logical drive.
Check your settings among the logical drive definition fields to be sure they
are what you want.
☞
If you wish to change any settings, use the arrow key to select
the desired definition field and change its value as described
