Volume Name:
The default Volume Set name will always appear as Volume---VOL#00. You can rename
the Volume Set name provided it does not exceed the 16 characters limit.
Raid Level:
Set the RAID level for the Volume Set. Click the down-arrow in the drop-down list. The
available RAID levels for the current Volume Set are displayed. Select the preferred
RAID level.
Capacity:
The maximum Volume Set size is displayed by default. If necessary, change the
Volume Set size appropriate for your application.
Greater Two TB Volume Support:
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 above example. There are two
options to select: “No” and “Yes”.
No : Volume Set capacity is set to maximum 2TB.
Yes : Volume Set capacity can be set over 2TB.
Initialization Mode:
Set the Initialization Mode for the Volume Set. Foreground mode is completed faster but
Volume Set but be completed before it becomes accessible. Background mode makes the
Volume Set available instantly but the initialization process takes longer.
Stripe Size:
This parameter sets the size of the stripe written to each disk in a RAID 0, 1, 10, a n d 5
Volume Set. You can set the Stripe Size to 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, or 128 KB.
A larger Stripe Size produces better read performance, especially if the host server
does mostly sequential reads. However, if you are sure that the host server does
random reads more often, select a small Stripe Size.
