Compaq Infortrend manual Initialization Mode

Initialization Mode

This sub-menu allows you to set if the logical drive is immediately available. If the online (default) mode is used, data can be written onto it and you may continue with array configuration, e.g., including the array into a logical volume, before the array’s initialization is completed.

Stripe Size

This option should only be changed by experienced engineers. Setting to an incongruous value can severely drag the performance. This option should only be changed when you can be sure of the performance gains it might bring you.

The default value is determined by controller Optimization Mode setting and the RAID level used for the array.

Press [ESC] to continue when all the preferences have been set.

A confirm box will appear on the screen. Verify all information in the box before choosing “Yes” to confirm and proceed.

If online initialization mode is applied, logical drive will first be created and the controller will find appropriate time to initialize the array.
