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, 128 KB, 256 KB, 512 KB or 1024 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 SCSI Channel/SCSI ID/SCSI LUN
SCSI Channel:
The 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller function is simulated as a external SCSI RAID
controller. The host bus is represented as a SCSI channel. Choose the SCSI
Channel.
SCSI ID:
Each SCSI device attached to the SCSI card, as well as the card itself, must be
assigned a unique SCSI ID number. A SCSI channel can connect up to 15
devices. The 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller is a large SCSI device. Assign an ID
from a list of SCSI IDs.
SCSI LUN:
Each SCSI ID can support up to 8 LUNs. Most 6Gb/s SAS controllers treat each
LUN like a SAS disk.
