Resumen del manual
2 Select the type of array you want to create. Then, click Next. 3 Click the drives you want to include in the array. Selected drives display an amber check mark. 4 When you have selected two drives, click Next. 5 Now you can accept the default name for the new array or enter one of your choice. The name you choose must be unique, and can be up to 15 standard ASCII characters in length. 6 Click Finish. The system creates the new array. 7 Windows 2000 only— a When you add an array, an Unsafe Removal pop-up appears—click OK. b Open the Device Manager and do a rescan to view your new array. Advanced Options Creating an array by clicking Advanced in the Create Array wizard follows the same basic process as the previous instructions, but at each step there may be additional options for you to use, depending on the features supported by the controller. The Advanced area of the Create Array wizard may offer the following additional options: ¦ Spanned Volumes and RAID Volumes—As described in the Glossary, a spanned volume concatenates segments from two or more drives to form a volume, while a RAID volume concatenates two or more arrays of the same type. Using Adaptec Storage Manager – Browser Edition ¦ Enable or Disable Write Caching—When write caching is enabled, the controller stores the data in cache memory on the controller and will accept another write to this array as soon as the data from the previous write is safely stored in the controller ’s memory. Since writing data to memory is much faster than writing it to the drives, enabling write caching can significantly improve performance. All data stored in the cache will be written to the drives when it is most efficient for the controller. ! Caution: The default setting for write cache is enabled. This setting provides the best performance, but in the event of power failure there is a possibility of data loss. ¦ Enable Or Disable Read Caching—When enabled, the controller will monitor read accesses to this array to try to predict where future reads may occur. If it detects a pattern, the data that seems most likely to be read next is preloaded into the controller ’s cache memory. Since reading data from memory on the controller is much faster than reading it from the drives, this significantly improves performance. The default is Enabled. The Advanced area of the Create Array wizard may offer the following additional options: ¦ Limit Array Capacity—This option allows you to choose the capacity of the array you are creating. The default is to make the array the largest possible size with the drives selected. To create multiple arrays on a single set of drives you must use this option to limit the size of, at a minimum, the first array. For example, if you have two 18-GB drives, and you wish to use them to create two 9-GB RAID 1s, you would use this option to restrict the size of the first array you create. Note: The capacity of RAID 1 is limited to the capacity of the smaller drive. Using Ad...
