Basic Size When Stripe Depth Is Tuned (For Wsv Type Volumes) - Fujitsu ETERNUS DX60 S3 User Manual

Appendix F Basic Size and MWC Input Condition for RAID Groups
F.1 Basic Size for each RAID Group
*1: D: Data drives, M: Mirror drives, P: Parity drives
*2: Basic size when creating volumes.
The ETERNUS DX manages volumes in units of stripe size. If the volume size is not an exact multiple of the basic size
(stripe size), then when a RAID group is created the remainder at the end of the last stripe used will be lost. Stripe
size is independent of the disk drive capacity.

Basic Size When Stripe Depth is Tuned (For WSV Type Volumes)

Refer to the following table for the basic size of RAID groups when the Stripe Depth value is changed:
■ Basic size of each RAID group when the Stripe Depth value is tuned
For WSVs, the basic size is a multiple of the number of concatenations (the number of RAID groups that are to
be concatenated).
