3.3 Quick install
It is easy to use “Quick install” function to create a volume. Depend on how
many physical disks or how many residual spaces on created VGs are free, the
system will calculate maximum spaces on RAID levels 0/1/3/5/6. “Quick install”
function will occupy all residual VG space for one UDV.
Quick Install function has a smarter policy. When the system is full inserted with
5 HDD, and all HDD are in the same size, Quick Install function lists all
possibilities and sizes among different RAID levels, Quick Install will use all
available HDD for the RAID level which user decides. But, when the system is
inserted with different sizes of HDD, e.g., 2*200G HDD and 3*80G, i Series also
lists all possibilities and combinations of different RAID Level and different sizes.
After user chooses RAID level, user may finds there are still some HDD are not
used (Free Status). The result is from i Series’s smarter policy on Quick Install
which gives user:
1. Biggest capacity of RAID level which user chooses and,
2. The fewest disk number for the RAID level/volume size.
