Choosing The Configuration Method - LSI SCSI 320-0 Configuration

Choosing the Configuration Method

Easy Configuration In Easy Configuration, each physical array you create is associated with
exactly one logical drive, and you can modify the following parameters:
•
RAID level
•
stripe size
•
cache write policy
•
read policy
•
I/O policy
If logical drives have already been configured when you select Easy
Configuration, the configuration information is not disturbed. See page 19 for
instructions on Easy Configuration.
New Configuration In New Configuration, you can select the following logical drive parameters:
•
RAID level
•
stripe size
•
cache write policy
•
read policy
•
I/O policy
•
logical drive size
•
spanning of arrays
If you select New Configuration, the existing configuration information on the
selected controller is destroyed when the new configuration is saved. See page
23 for instructions on New Configuration.
View/Add Configuration View/Add Configuration allows you to control the same logical drive
parameters as New Configuration without disturbing the existing configuration
information. You can also choose to enable the Configuration on Disk feature.
See page 26 for additional information.
Reserved Disk Space during Configuration Up to 32 KB of disk space is reserved when a hard
disk drive is being configured.
