Using the Array Configuration Utility
Playback Mode
Playback mode enables you to create one or more arrays based on
the properties defined in a script file. It also enables you to configure
certain properties for each channel on the controller.
When you create an array, you can specify any of the properties
listed in
Table 13-3
.
Table 13-3
Array Properties
Property
Description
Type
Supported array types are:
Volume
RAID 0 (stripe)
RAID 1 (mirror)
RAID 5
RAID 10 (stripe of mirrors)
RAID 50 (stripe of RAID 5)
Size
Size of the array to be created. Size can be specified
in megabyte (MB), gigabyte (GB), or terabyte (TB)
units, or
Maximum
to specify the maximum size
based on the given type and disks.
Label
Alphanumeric string uniquely identifying the
array.
StripeSize
Size (in KB) of contiguous data distributed across a
“striped” array (RAID 0, RAID 5
,
RAID 10, or
RAID 50).
Cache settings
You can specify the following values for the caches:
ReadCache
Yes
(enable), or
No
(disable)
WriteCache
—One of the following values:
Yes
—Enable when protected
No
—Disable
Always
—Enable always
Drives
Disk drives to use in creating the array. Drives are
identified by their channel number, ID number, and
logical unit number (LUN).
HotspareDrives
Disk drives to assign as spare drives for this array.
Drives are identified by their channel number, ID
number, and LUN.
