Optimizing Virtual Disk for Performance/Reliability
This section describes the procedure to quickly create a virtual disk that is optimized for either best read/write performance or best fault tolerance (reliability).
Note: This is particularly useful if you are new to RAID technology and are not sure about which RAID level suits your application the most.
To quickly create virtual disk optimized for performance/reliability
1. Select Adapter.
2. Roll-over the Operation tab, and select Quick Create VD, as shown in Figure 1.
The Create Options screen appears, as shown in Figure 2.
3. As shown in Figure 2, select one of the following options:
■ Select Performance for creating a virtual disk that is optimized for best read and write performance.
■ Select Reliability for creating a virtual disk that is optimized for best fault tolerance.
Based on the performance/reliability selection and the capabilities of the RAID controller, MSU creates a suitable virtual disk using some or all available physical disks.
4. After creating the virtual disk, MSU displays the Property tab for the new Virtual Disk, as shown in Figure 3.
