Stripe Size
The stripe size is the amount of data written to one drive before the
controller moves to the next drive in a stripe set (RAID 0), RAID 5
set, stripe set of mirror sets (RAID 0/1), or stripe set of RAID 5 sets
(RAID 0/5).
Description
Sets the amount of data written to one
array partition before the controller
moves to the next array partition in a
stripe set (RAID 0), RAID 5 set, stripe set
of mirror sets (RAID 0/1), or stripe set of
RAID 5 sets (RAID 0/5). See Stripe Size on
page 2-11.
(RAID 5 only) Shows the method used to
created the array. Some controllers let you
change the RAID 5 creation method.
When you create a RAID 5 set, Storage
Manager Pro uses the Verify method by
default when it creates the array. The
Verify method reads all the data on the
drives in the array and resets the parity
(redundancy) of the existing data
sequentially from the beginning of the
array to the end. The array is available to
users during the Verify process.
Enables or disables write cache. See Write
Cache Settings on page 2-12.
