the attributes descriptions. Please refer to section 4.6 Using “Raid Set and
Volume Set” Functions to complete the create volume set function.
3.7.3.1.1 Volume Name
The default volume name will always appear as volume set #. You can rename
the volume set name providing it does not exceed the 15 characters limit.
3.7.3.1.2 Raid Level
RAID subsystem can support RAID level 0, 1, 10 (1E), 3, 5, 6, 30, 50, and 60.
3.7.3.1.3 Capacity
Enter the appropriate volume size to fit your application. The capacity can also
increase or decrease by the UP and DOWN arrow keys. Each volume set has a
selected capacity which is less than or equal to the total capacity of the RAID set
on which it resides.
3.7.3.1.4 Strip Size
This parameter sets the size of the segment written to each disk in a RAID 0, 1,
10 (1E), 5, 6, 50 or 60 logical drives. 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 your
computer does mostly sequential reads. However, if you are sure that your
computer does random reads more often, select a small stripe size.
3.7.3.1.5 Cache Mode
User can set the cache mode as Write-Through Cache or Write-Back Cache.
3.7.3.1.6 SAS Port/SAS LUN Base/SAS LUN
SAS Port: Two 4-lanes SAS ports can be applied to the RAID subsystem. The
RAID subsystem supports Port 0, 1 and 0&1 cluster option.
SAS LUN base: Each SAS device attached to the SAS host adapter must be
assigned a unique SAS ID number. A SAS port can connect up to 122 (0 to 121)
devices. The RAID subsystem is as a large SAS device. We should assign an
LUN base from a list of SAS LUN Base.
SAS LUN: Each LUN Base can support up to 8 SAS LUNs. Most SAS port host
adapter treats each SAS LUN like a SAS disk.
3.7.3.1.7 Fibre Port/Fibre LUN Base/Fibre LUN
Fibre Port: Quad 8Gb/s Fibre channel can be applied to the internal RAID
subsystem. Choose the Fibre Host# 0~3. A Select Fibre Channel dialog box
appears, select the channel number and press Enter key to confirm it.
Fibre LUN Base: Each fibre device attached to the Fibre card, as well as the
