3.6.1 HP PolyServe Matrix Server Administration Guide (T5392-96018, August 2008)

Chapter 8: Configure Dynamic Volumes 83
• Optimal. The volume has only one stripeset that includes all
subdevices. Each subdevice is written to in turn.
• Suboptimal. The volume has been extended and includes more than
one stripeset. The subdevices in the first stripeset will be completely
filled before writes to the next stripeset begin. To change the Stripe
State to optimal, you will need to recreate the dynamic volume.
To display the properties from the command line, use the following
command:
mx dynvolume properties <volumeName>
View Stripeset Information
To see the contents of a stripeset, run mpdump.exe with no options from
the Command Prompt. The command is in the directory Program
Files\Polyserve\MatrixServer\bin on the drive where you installed Matrix
Server. Following is some sample output.
