Table 6-2. Virtual Disk Parameters and Descriptions

Parameter

Description

 

 

RAID Level

RAID Level specifies the whether the virtual disk is RAID 0, 1,

 

5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. The RAID level you select depends on the

 

number of disks, disk capacity, and the requirements for fault

 

tolerance and performance. See "Summary of RAID Levels" on

 

page 17 for more information.

Stripe Element Size Stripe Element Size specifies the size of the segments written to each physical disk in a RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50 virtual disk. You can set the stripe element size to 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, 128 KB, 256 KB, 512 KB, or 1024 KB. The default and recommended stripe element size is 64 KB.

 

A larger stripe element size provides better read performance if

 

your system does mostly sequential reads.

 

 

Write Policy

Write Policy specifies the controller write policy. You can set

 

the write policy to Write-Back or Write-Through.

 

In Write-Back caching, the controller sends a data transfer

 

completion signal to the host when the controller cache has

 

received all the data in a transaction.

 

NOTE: If a BBU is present, the default cache setting is

 

Write-Back cache. If no BBU is present, the default cache policy

 

default setting is Write-Through.

 

NOTICE: If Write-Back is enabled and the system is quickly

 

turned off and then on, the controller may pause as the system

 

flushes cache memory. Controllers that contain a battery backup

 

default to Write-Back caching.

 

In Write-Through caching, the controller sends a data transfer

 

completion signal to the host when the disk subsystem has

 

received all the data in a transaction.

 

Write-Back caching has a performance advantage over Write-

 

Through caching.

 

NOTE: Certain data patterns and configurations perform better

 

with Write-Through cache policy.
