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, and it has no space for
snapshot and spare. If snapshot function is needed, please create volumes by
manual, and refer to section 4.4 for more detail.
IS16GL Quick Install function has a smarter policy. When the system is full
inserted with 16 HDD, and all HDD are in the same size, IS16GL Quick Install
function lists all possibilities and sizes among different RAID levels, IS16GL
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., 8*200G HDD
and 8*80G, IS16GL 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 IS16GL’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.
