fails, the subsystem firmware automatically switches caching
mode to the conservative Write-through.
♦ Optimization Policy
Optimization for Random I/O. More common setting. Use this
option for environments (e.g., database maintenance) with
smaller I/O transactions.
Optimization for Sequential I/O. Used for large I/O
environments such as video recording and editing. Particularly
useful where I/O read/write must be in sequential order.
♦ Sync. Period
This option allows you to select the desired interval for the partner
controllers in a dual-controller configuration to synchronize (mirror-
copy) their cached data. RAID controllers have defaults for this;
however, this option provides more choices with the sync. period.
Controller Parameters
♦ Controller Name
A manually entered nickname for the RAID controller. This name
can also be used to recognize a RAID subsystem in an environment
where multiple RAID subsystems reside.
♦ Unique Identifier (HEX)
This is a MUST for subsystem configuration, especially for those
with dual-controllers or Fibre host ports. The unique ID is integrated
as unique Fibre Channel node name and port names. In the event of
controller failover and failback, this ID helps host-side initiators to
identify a RAID subsystem.
♦ Time Zone(GMT)
GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is used with a 24-hour clock. To
change the clock to your local time zone, select a time from the
drop-down menu. Choose the hour later than the Greenwich Mean
Time following a plus (+) sign. For example, enter “+9” for Japan’s
time zone.
♦ Date/Time
Enter time and date in their numeric representatives in the following
order: month, day, hour, minute, and the year.
♦ SDRAM ECC
