To set other policies for the unit
While creating a unit through 3BM, you can set the following unit policies:
Write Cache, Drive Queuing Mode, Continue on Error When Rebuild (ECC
Overwrite), Initialization Method, and Auto Verify. You can also select a
StorSave profile and configure Rapid RAID Recovery.
Each of these policies is already set to a default value, so you do not have to
change them.
1 Use the arrow keys or press Tab to move to the field you want to change.
2 Press Enter to see the available options.
3 Use the arrow keys to select the option you want and press Enter to
choose it.
For details about these parameters, see:
• "Enabling and Disabling the Unit Write Cache" on page 118
• "Enabling and Disabling Queuing for a Unit" on page 122
• "Setting the StorSave Profile for a Unit" on page 123
• "Setting Overwrite ECC (Continue on Source Error When
Rebuilding)" on page 121
• "Enabling or Disabling Auto Verify for a Unit" on page 120
• "Rapid RAID Recovery" on page 126
To create a boot unit of a particular size
You can specify a portion of the unit you create to be used as a boot volume, if
desired. This is useful if you will be installing your operating system onto the
unit and want to have a designated volume for the OS. The remainder of the
unit will be created as a separate volume.
