Defining System Drives
After you define the packs, you will use them to create system drives. System
drives have the following properties:
More than one system drive can be defined on a single pack; or a system
drive can span one to four packs.
The minimum size of a system drive is 8 MB. The maximum size is 2 TB
(terabytes).
Up to eight system drives can be created per controller.
Each system drive has a selected RAID level (subject to the number of disks
in the system drive's pack).
Each system drive has its own write policy (write-back or write through).
Each system drive has its own LUN Affinity.
From the Configuration menu, select Define System Drives.
