Using UP/DOWN buttons to create the current volume set capacity size a
nd
press ENT
to confirm it. The available stripe sizes for the current volume set are
displayed.
Using UP/DOWN
buttons to select the current volume set stripe size and press
ENT key to confirm it. This parameter specifies the
size of the stripes written to
each disk in a RAID 0, 1, 10(1E), 5 or 6
volume set. You can set the stripe size
to 4KB, 8KB, 16KB, 32KB, 64KB, 128KB, 256KB, 512KB or 1024
KB. A larger
stripe size provides better-read performance, especially if your computer
does
mostly sequential reads. However, if you are sure that your computer does
random read requests more often, choose a small stripe size.
When you are finished defining the volume set, press ENT
to confirm the
“Quick Volume And Raid Set Setup” function.
Press ENT
to define “FGrnd Init (Foreground initialization)” or press ESC to
define “BGrnd Init (Background initialization)“. When “FGrnd Init", the
initialization proceeds must be completed bef
ore the volume set ready for
system accesses. When “BGrnd Init", the initialization proceeds as a
background task, the volume set is fully accessible for system reads and writes.
The operating system can instantly access to the newly created arrays without
requiring a reboot and waiting the initialization complete.
The controller will begin to Initialize the volume set you have just configured.
If you need to add additional volume set using main menu “Create Raid
Volume
Set” function.

In “Raid Set Function”, you can use the Create Raid Set function to generate the
new RAID set. In “Volume Set Function”, you can use the Create Volume Set
function to generate its associated volume set and parameters.
If the current controller has unused physical devices connected, you can
choose the “Create Hot Spare” option in the “Raid Set Function” to define a
global hot spare.
Select this method to configure new RAID sets and volume sets. This
configuration option allows you to associate volume set with partial and full
RAID set.
