xStack Storage DSN-3200 & DSN-3400
V1.4.0 build 27 Release Notes
2.4.3 Volumes Supported Features
• All Volume Organizations (RAID Levels) in all combinations
• Volumes can be created using the automatic method as well as the Manual Volume creation method (by
clicking the Manual icon). (The Spare Count will be obeyed in limiting the number of drives that can be
used for automatic volume creation.)
• Volumes can be deleted, so long as no host I/O is active in the DSN-3200/3400 at the moment the Delete
is processed. Should the Volume have any active Background Tasks, those tasks will be automatically
aborted.
• Volumes persist and Background Tasks persist.
• Background Tasks are Volume Initialization, Rebuild, Micro Rebuild, Parity Scan, Reconfigure, and
Media
Scan.
• Background Tasks can be Suspended, Resumed, Cancelled (synonymous with aborted) and Deleted (i.e.
an inactive task can be removed from the Management Console's display). A Task's priority can be
changed.
2.4.4 Caveats
• Media Scan is not supported on Parity Volumes. The Management Console disallows these to be executed
immediately, but currently allows the media scan to be scheduled for execution in the future.
• No Statistics are provided for Volumes or Drives with this release.
• Expand Volume:
- The Management Console only allows certain values to be entered as the new size of a volume during
Expand. The reconfigure volume feature can be used to pick any volume size.
