This sub-menu allows you to set the caching mode for this specific logical drive. “Default” is a
neutral value that is coordinated with the subsystem’s general caching mode setting shown in
brackets in the Write Policy status.
Initialization Mode
Fig. 7.12 Initialization Mode Sub-menu
This sub-menu allows you to see if the logical drive is immediately available. If the online
(default) mode is used, data can be written onto it immediately and you may continue with
array configuration, e.g., including the array into a logical volume, before the array’s initializa-
tion process is completed.
Stripe Size
Fig. 7.13 Stripe Size Option Box
This option should only be changed by experienced engineers. Setting to an incongruous value
can severely drag performance, therefore, this option should only be changed when you can
be sure of the performance gains it might bring you.
The default value is determined by the combination of the controller Optimization Mode set-
ting and the RAID level used for the array.
Press [ESC] to continue when all the preferences have been set.
