In addition, when you highlight a SAN or NAS Resource, you will see a
GUID
field in the right-hand pane.
The GUID (Global Unique Identifier) is the permanent identifier for this virtual
device. The virtual ID,
SANDisk-00002
, is not. You should make note of the
GUID, because, in the event of a disaster, this identifier will be important if you
need to rebuild your system and import this disk.
Replica Resources are replica disks that are being used by a remote server.
Snapshot groups are groups of drives (virtual drives and service enabled drives)
that will be grouped together for snapshot synchronization purposes. When
one drive in the group is to be replicated or backed up, the entire group will be
snapped together to maintain a consistent image.
You can leverage a third party disk subsystem's built-in caching mechanism to
improve I/O performance. Write caching allows the third party disk subsystem
to utilize its internal cache to accelerate I/O.
To write cache a resource, right-click on it and select
Write Cache
