3.
Choose the array type you want to create from the drop-down list.
4.
Enter a name for the array (this is optional)
5.
If you are creating a redundant RAID array (RAID1, 5, 6, 10, 50), select an
initialization option for the array.
Note: An un-initialized RAID1 or RAID10 array can still provide redundancy in
case of a disk failure. A RAID5 array, however, is not fault-tolerant until initializa-
tion is finished.
6. When creating array on IOP RAID controller, All RAID type have cache policy(R5/
50/6 is no “None” option.). And if enable write back, data also can be safe even power
fail if BBU installed.
Write-back
When the write-back setting is selected, writes to the array are cached. This will
result in higher performance, but data loss may occur in case of a power failure.
Write-through
When the write-through setting is selected, writes to the array are always passed
directly to the disks. Subsequent reads may still be completed from the cache, if
appropriate.
