Adaptec Storage Manager-Browser Edition

■Capacity—The physical capacity of the selected array in gigabytes with the number of blocks in parenthesis.

■Stripe Size—Where applicable, the stripe size of the selected array.

■Hot spare—Indicates, for redundant arrays, if a hot spare protects the selected array.

■Logical drive number—A number assigned to the selected array by the controller. This number is only used by the controller.

Note: It is worth noting that if the system is booting from the controller that this array is connected to, the lowest number array (typically array 0) is the boot device. ACU provides an option to select any array and make it the boot device. If you choose to do so, the array you choose to make the boot device will become array 0. This action may result in other array(s) being renumbered.

Cache Settings Tab

The Cache Settings tab duplicates the options presented in the advanced version of the Create Array wizard. You can choose to modify the settings for both read and write cache.

Write cache can be set to disable, enable always, or (if the controller is fitted with a battery) enable when protected.

Read cache can be enabled or disabled.
