ACU for DOS

ReadCache Keyword

ReadCache

indicates whether the array uses read caching.

Possible values are:

Yes

(the default)—Enable read caching.

No

—Disable read caching.

Example

ReadCache=Yes

Size Keyword

The Size keyword specifies the size of the array. Specify Maximum
(the default) to create an array using the maximum available space,
based on the array type and drives selected. Otherwise, specify the
size as an integer or a decimal number, followed by the unit
keyword MB (megabytes), GB (gigabytes), or TB (terabytes).

Note:

A unit keyword is required with a numeric size value. If

no unit keyword is specified, the ACU exits with an error.

Examples

Size=2.5GB

Size=300MB

Size=Maximum

StripeSize Keyword

Note:

This keyword does not support RAID 50 arrays because

RAID 50 arrays support only a stripe size of 64 KB.

The StripeSize keyword specifies the stripe size (in MB) written
to each member of a striped (RAID 0, RAID 5, RAID 10) array.

The possible values for StripeSize are 16 KB, 32 KB, and 64 KB
(the default).

Example

StripeSize=64
