Chapter 2: RAID configuration

Adapter Properties Menu Options

Option

Description

Battery Backup

This entry indicates whether the selected controller has a BBU. If

present, you can click Present to view information about the BBU.

Set Factory

Defaults

Use this option to load the default MegaRAID

®

WebBIOS CU settings.

The default is [No].

Cluster Mode

Use this option to enable or disable Cluster mode. The default is

[Disabled]. A cluster is a grouping of independent servers that can

access the same data storage and provide services to a common set

of clients. When Cluster mode is disabled, the system operates in

Standard mode.

Rebuild Rate

Use this option to select the rebuild rate for physical drives connected

to the selected adapter. The default is 30 percent. The rebuild rate is

the percentage of system resources dedicated to rebuilding a failed

drive. The higher the number, the more system resources devoted to a

rebuild.

BGI Rate

Use this option to select the amount of system resources dedicated

to background initialization of virtual disks connected to the selected

adapter. The default is 30 percent.

CC Rate

Use this option to select the amount of system resources dedicated to

consistency checks of virtual disks connected to the selected adapter.

The default is 30 percent.

Reconstruction

Rate

Use this option to select the amount of system resources dedicated to

reconstruction of physical disks connected to the selected adapter. The

default is 30 percent.

Adapter BIOS

Use this option to enable or disable the BIOS for the selected adapter.

The default is [Enabled]. If the boot device is on the selected controller,

the BIOS must be enabled; otherwise, the BIOS should be disabled or

it might not be possible to use a boot device elsewhere.

Coercion Mode

Disk coercion is a tool for forcing physical disks of varying capacities

to the same size so they can be used in an array. The coercion mode

options are [None], [128MB-way], and [1GB-way]. The default is

[None].

The number you choose depends on how much the

drives from various vendors vary in their actual size. We

recommend that you use the 1GB coercion mode option.
