6.Check the SMART Log box to enable the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting System (SMART).

7.Enter a polling interval (1 to 1440 minutes) in SMART Polling Interval field.

8.Check the Coercion Enabled box to enable disk drive capacity coercion.

When disk drives of different capacities are used in the same array, coercion reduces the usable capacity of the larger disk drive(s) in order to match the smallest capacity drive.

For more information, see “Capacity Coercion” on page 252.

9.Select a coercion method from the Coercion Method dropdown menu. The choices are:

GB Truncate – (Default) Reduces the useful capacity to the nearest 1,000,000,000 byte boundary.

10GB Truncate – Reduces the useful capacity to the nearest 10,000,000,000 byte boundary.

Group Rounding – Uses an algorithm to determine how much to truncate. Results in the maximum amount of usable drive capacity.

Table Rounding – Applies a predefined table to determine how much to truncate.

10.Enter a time interval (1 to 12 seconds) in the Write Back Cache Flush Interval field.

For more information, see “Cache Policy” on page 251.

11.Select a Cache Line Size (8KB or 64KB) from the Preferred Cache Line Size dropdown menu.

For more information, see “Cache Line Size” on page 252.

12.Click the Submit button.

The changes take effect immediately.
