3.2 build raid 3.2.1 Array site

A row of 16 hard drives, the first eight blocks, and the last eight pieces. An array site is an eight-piece hard disk, as shown in the above number

S1 S2 S3 S4 is an array site, the first four blocks after four pieces.

each array set (S1-S12) can only establish an array. 96 disk, 12 array site 3.2.2 Array

Each array must be within an array set, and only eight disk configurations.

This storage supports RAID 5 RAID 6 raid 10

If you select Raid 5,array set s1-s8 default is 6+p (check disk) +s (hot spare)

Array Set S9-S12 default is 7+1 (check disk)

Default A0–a11

If you add it directly to the ranks by default, you do not need to add it next.

3.2.3rank

The format of an array becomes a rank. We set to FB mode (a data block (stripe) is 1GB)

Default is R0-r11
