2 Type in an optional label for the array and press Enter.
3 Enter the desired array size. The maximum array size available
based on the segments you selected is displayed automatically.
If you want to designate a different array size, type the desired
array size and select MB (megabytes), GB (gigabytes), or TB
(terabytes) from the drop-down list. If the available space from
the selected segments is greater than the size specified, the
remaining space is available for use in other arrays.
4 Select the desired stripe size. The allowable stripe sizes are:
■ For RAID 0, 1 , and 5 only—16, 32, and 64 MB (the default).
■ For RAID 10 only—32 and 64 MB (the default).
5 The default stripe size gives the best overall performance in
most network environments.
6 Specify whether you want to enable read and write caching for
the array.
When Enabled (the default), caching is enabled,
providing maximum performance. When
Disabled , caching is
disabled.
Caution: When caching is Enabled, there is a potential for
data loss or corruption during a power failure.
Caching should usually be enabled to optimize performance,
unless your data is highly sensitive, or unless your application
performs completely random reads, which is unlikely.
7 When you are finished, press Done.
