Chapter 5 RAID Management
5.1 Quick Function
5.1.1 Quick Create
The number of physical drives in the RAID subsystem determines the RAID levels that can be
implemented with the Raid Set. This feature allows user to create a Raid Set associated with
exactly one Volume Set. User can change the Raid Level, Capacity, Volume Initialization
Mode and Stripe Size. A hot spare can also be created depending upon the existing
configuration.
Not recommended for SR-TRITON16Ni system, use “Create RAID Set”
when creating RAID Sets.
If the Volume Set size is over 2TB, an option “Greater Two TB Volume Support” will be
automatically provided in the screen as shown in the example below. There are three options to
select: “No”, “64bit LBA”, and “4K Block”).
Greater Two TB Volume Support:
No : Volume Set capacity is set to maximum 2TB.
64bit LBA : Use this option for UNIX, Linux, and Windows Server 2003 + SP1 or later versions. The
maximum Volume Set size is up to 512TB.
4K Block : Use this option for Windows OS such as Windows 2000, 2003, or XP. The
maximum Volume Set size is 16TB. Just use the Volume as “Basic Disk”. Volume can’t be used
as “Dynamic Disk”; also can’t be used in 512Bytes block service program.
