Web RAID Management Interface
5-4
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.
Specify a cache policy:
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.
None
Neither write-back nor write-through cache is used. I/O data will be passed to disks
directly.
7.
Select disks from the Available Disks list.
8.
Enter a capacity for the array, or use the default value (the maximum capacity for
the array).
9.
Click
Create
. If you have specified an initialization option, the initialization
process will start automatically.
Deleting an Array

1)
Select “
Manage - Array

2)
Click on the
