RAID Mode Configuration 4 - 13

Gigabyte Boundary

The Gigabyte Boundary feature is designed for fault tolerant arrays RAID 1 (Mirror)

in which a drive has failed, and the user cannot replace the drive with a drive of the

same capacity or larger. This feature permits the installation of a replacement drive

that is slightly smaller than any remaining working drive (e.g. a 20.50GB drive would

be rounded down to 20GB). This can be useful if a drive fails and an exact replace-

ment is no longer available. Without this feature enabled, The Promise RAID con-

troller will NOT permit the use of a replacement drive the is slightly smaller than the

remaining working drive.

Stripe Block

The Promise RAID Controller will allow you to change the stripe block size for RAID

0 Arrays. To change the block size, use the arrow keys to highlight the field and the

<Spacebar> to cycle through the available size options (16, 32, 64 or 128K). Note

you cannot change the block size after the Array has been created.

Assigning Drives to an Array

Highlight a drive under Drive Assignments using the <Spacebar>, and change

the assignment option to "Y" to add the drive to the disk array. Press <Ctrl> + <Y>

to save the information.
