Policy Description
JBOD (bypass)
Creates a logical volume for each physical hard drive. Available only for
SATA host controllers that provide Port Multiplier support, and only
available for the top-level node of a cascaded configuration.
SAFE (RAID 1)
Creates one volume. One hard drive mirrors the other. The system
automatically restores data redundancy to a SAFE volume when an offline
drive comes back online.
BIG Concatenates all hard drives into a single volume.
SAFE33
Creates one SAFE volume that has one-third of the available storage
capacity of the smaller hard drive and one BIG volume that has the
remaining capacity.
SAFE50
Creates one SAFE volume that has one-half of the available storage capacity
of the smaller hard drive and one BIG volume that has the remaining
capacity.
FAST (RAID 0)
Creates one volume that is striped across two hard drives to expose double
the capacity of the smaller drive.
Note: Only the Storage Policies that are supported by your specific SteelVine Storage
Processor chip-type will appear in the list. If you are using a SATA host connection, the
SAFE33 and SAFE50 selections will only be available when the host SATA controller is
Port-Multiplier Aware.
