Adding a storage location to an existing DVM repository
95
Text Box
Description
NOTE:
The minimum size is 1 GB. The
size that you specify cannot exceed the
size of the volume.
If the storage location is a New
Technology File System (NTFS)
volume using Windows XP or
Windows 7, the file size limit is 16
TB.
If the storage location is a NTFS
volume using Windows 8, 8.1 or
Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2,
the file size limit is 256 TB.
NOTE:
For Rapid Recovery to validate
the operating system, Windows
Management Instrumentation (WMI)
must be installed on the intended
storage location.
Write Caching Policy
The write caching policy controls how the Windows
Cache Manager is used in the repository and helps
to tune the repository for optimal performance on
different configurations.
Set the value to one of the following:
•
On
•
Off
•
Sync
If set to On, which is the default,
Windows controls the caching. This
is appropriate for Windows 10, and
for versions of Windows Server
2012 and later.
NOTE:
Setting the write caching policy
to On could result in faster performance.
If you are using Windows Server 2008
SP2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP2,
the recommended setting is Off.
If set to Off, Rapid Recovery
controls the caching.
If set to Sync, Windows controls the
caching as well as the synchronous
input/output.
Bytes per Sector
Specify the number of bytes you want each sector to
include. The default value is 512.
