Promise VTrak: RAID Controllers - Direct Attached configuration script - eight RAID1 logical drives

To create the configuration script, copy the text below beginning with the line "#Begin Copy" to the line "#End Copy" and paste the text into TextEdit, using these guidelines. Once you've created the script, follow the guidelines in this article to import the configuration script.

# Promise VTrak E-Class configuration script

#
# Script Details: builds 8 RAID 1 LUNs from 16 drives (head unit only)
# for direct attached usage
#
# Script Assumptions: no arrays or logical drives created
# (uncomment out array deletion if needed)
# script works with either SATA or SAS configurations
#
#
#
# Global controller settings
# LUN Affinity: enabled [required]
# Adaptive Writeback Cache: enabled [optional, recommended]
# Host Cache Flushing: disabled [optional, recommended]
# Forced Read Ahead: disabled [optional, recommended]
