Creating an Array
automatically writes all data in the write cache to disk before the
shutdown.
Select the cache settings that you want to use most often:
■ Write Back —Turns on write cache.
Caution: If your controller does not have a battery or if
it is not charged, you risk losing data by selecting this
option.
■ Write Through —Turns off write cache; however, the data
written to the array is still stored in the cache and is available
for read cache.
You can set the default write cache properties in the Default Array
Creation Properties dialog box. See
Viewing and Setting the Default
Array Creation Properties on page 2-8.
Making the Array Available for Use
After you create an array, you typically make the array available to
users. In some cases, you may need to reboot the system before the
array can be accessible. Use the information in the table on page 2-13
to assist you. Refer to your operating system’s documentation for
more information.
