INFORMATION:
Write policy of System Drive #0-Write Through
Selected Drives (CHN:TGT) : 0:0, 0:1, 0:2, 1:0, 1:1
Write Through sets the controller to "no write cache" and Write Back sets it
to "enable the write cache." Write Through cache strategy provides more
security than Write Back and Write Back provides higher data throughput
performance.
NOTE:
When using system drives with Write Back cache, make it a point to wait
for at least 15 seconds after the last operation before rebooting or
powering OFF the CR8e. This is to ensure data in the cache is written to
the disk before the system is rebooted.
11 The system will prompt you for the drive affinity settings. System drive
affinity defines which SCSI host port(s) through which controller(s) a
particular system drive may be accessed. System drives are presented as SCSI
LUNs. Set the system drive affinity for this system drive by pressing the
<Space Bar> toggling through the choices.
12 Press the <Esc> key when you have completed your selections.
