provides a brief description of the items you can modify:
Table 19 Advanced window items
Item
Description
The amount of storage that ASM allocates to the
Size
application component, user-defined application,
or shared folder you are configuring.
Hard drive formatting that provides different
RAID Level
levels of performance, capacity, and data
protection.
The number of bytes or kilobytes of data in each
RAID stripe (block of data). The RAID stripe size
RAID Stripe Size
selected affects performance. For the best
performance, select the stripe size closest to the
size of the files being saved.
The percent full value that when reached
changes the storage status to Warning and
issues a warning alert. The warning indicates
Percent Full Warning
that storage use has surpassed the percentage
Threshold
full value. For example, if you enter 75%, you
see a warning (yellow asterisk) in the content
pane when storage is at 75 percent full.
Data is stored on hard drives dedicated to
storing only the data for the application
component, user-defined application, or shared
folder you are configuring. The number of hard
drives dedicated depends on the allocated
Exclusive Storage
space size and other advanced storage
configuration settings selected for the item you
are configuring. Exclusive storage is
recommended for some applications for the
storage of specific types of data.
Enforce Allocated
Sets an enforced quota for the amount of storage
Limit (Quota)
available to a shared folder or local storage

Hosting storage for applications and shared folders
Notes
You are prevented from setting the
size below 15 MB.
After the allocated storage space is
full (100 percent used), no further
data can be stored to the space
until you increase the size using the
Allocate Space Wizard. The only
exception is for shared folders and
local storage applications without
an enforced allocated limit. If there
is unused storage space on the
logical disk where a component
without an enforced allocated limit
resides, data can be written to the
component until the logical disk is
full.
For more information about RAID
levels, see
Customizing RAID
levels
on page 73.*
ASM provides the following general
values: small (8 kB), medium (16
kB), and large (64 kB).*
The percent full warning threshold
is set by default to 80%. Percent full
warning threshold values are
ASM-specific; percent full warning
threshold values selected in the
Quota Management MMC snap-in
are not adopted by ASM. All other
Quota Management MMC snap-in
settings are adopted by ASM. See
Setting a percent full warning
threshold
on page 74.
For Exchange and SQL Server,
ASM default values specify
exclusive storage for log files, which
according to storage best practices,
should be isolated from other
application storage areas.*
