Table 6 Array Configuration Information
Table 7 Group Configuration Information
Prompt Description
Member name Unique name for the array in the group (63 or fewer letters, numbers, or
hyphens). First character must be a letter or number.
Network interface Name of a network interface on the array (eth0 or eth1) that is connected to a
functioning port on a network switch.
IP address Network address for the array network interface.
Note: Each member must have at least one network interface on the same sub-
net as the group IP address.
Netmask Address that combines with the IP address to identify the subnet on which the
array network interface resides (default is 255.255.255.0).
Default gateway
(optional)
Network address for the device used to connect subnets and forward network
traffic beyond the local network. A default gateway is needed only if you want
the array network interface to communicate outside the local network (for
example, to allow access to volumes from computers outside the local network).
Note: The default gateway must be on the same subnet as the array network
interface.
RAID policy RAID level and spare drive configuration for the array. The actual number of
RAID sets and spare drives depends on the number of drives in the array.
• RAID 10 – Striping on top of multiple RAID 1 (mirrored) sets.
• RAID 50 – Striping on top of multiple RAID 5 (distributed-parity) sets.
Each RAID 5 set uses one drive's worth of space for parity.
• RAID 5 – Distributed-parity sets.
• RAID 6 – Multiple dual distributed-parity sets.
• RAID 6 Accelerated – Only available on XS and XVS array models.
