Chapter 5 Monitoring • Indicates the logical and physical size of the logical drive. • Indicates the stripe size and cache line size in use by the logical drive. • Indicates if the write back cache is enabled or disabled. • Indicates the operational status of the logical drive. • Indicates the amount of capacity held by this logical drive (shown in a bar graph) out of the total amount of capacity configured on the controller. 1. If write back cache is disabled, click the Enable Write Cache button to enable the cache. 2. If write back cache is enabled, click the Disable Write Cache button to disable the cache (and use write-through caching). 3. If the Consistency Check button is enabled, you may manually run a consistency check on this logical drive (as described in the Chapter 6). 4. Click Show Bad Data Blocks to display a window of all bad data blocks found on this logical drive. 5. Click the Close button to close the dialog box. Performance Monitoring Performance is monitored using the Statistics View dialog box. This measures RAID controller performance using operations such as Reads, Writes, % Reads, % Writes, Cache Hits, etc. A flexible settings page lets you choose which controllers, targets, and operations to monitor. Past and present data can be viewed as a line graph, pie graph, or bar graph. Settings can be saved and opened, and statistical data can be captured, saved, and displayed. Statistics View The Statistics View dialog box is opened from the View menu or its icon as shown in Figure 5-14. 109
