E. Installation steps for large volume (TB)

Introduction:

i8500 capable of supporting large volumes (>2TB). When connecting controllers
to 64bit OS installed host/server, the host/server is inherently capable for large
volumes from the 64bit address. On the other side, if the host/server is installed
with 32bit OS, user has to change the block size to 1KB, 2KB or 4KB to support
volumes up to 4TB, 8TB or 16TB, for the 32bit host/server is not LBA (Logical
Block Addressing) 64bit supported. For detail installation steps, please refer to
following steps below.

Step 1:

Configure target

1. Prepare the hard drivers which capacity is over 2TB totally. Follow the

example in chapter 3 to create a RG/VD. Then attach LUN.

Figure E.1:

(Figure G.1: choose “OK” for 64bit OS, choose “Cancel” for 32bit OS, this step will
change block size to 4K automatically.)

2. Mouse moves to the gray button next to the VD number; click

“More

information”

. Look at block size is 512B for 64bit OS setting, 4K for

32bit OS setting.

Step 2:

Configure host/server

Tips

If the OS is 64bit, user can set the block size to any available
value. If the OS is 32bit, user must change the block size to
larger values than 512B. There will be a confirmation pop-up
message when VD size is over 2TB.
