If you are creating a redundant RAID array (RAID1, 5, 6, 10, 50), select an
initialization option for the array.
Note: An un-initialized RAID1 ,6, 10 or RAID50 array can still provide redundancy
in case of a disk failure. A RAID5 array, however, is not fault-tolerant until initial-
ization is finished.
6. When creating array on IOP RAID controller, All RAID type have cache policy(R5/
50/6 is no "None" option.). And if enable write back, data also can be safe even power
fail if BBU installed.
Write-back
When the write-back setting is selected, writes to the array are cached. This will
result in higher performance, but data loss may occur in case of a power failure.
Write-through
When the write-through setting is selected, writes to the array are always passed
directly to the disks. Subsequent reads may still be completed from the cache, if
appropriate.
6.
Select disks from the Available Disks list.
7.
Enter a capacity for the array, or use the default value (the maximum capacity for
the array).
8. (VSS) Select Sector Size if needed .
9.
Click Create. If you have specified an initialization option, the initialization
process will start automatically.
