You can enter a numerical value for this option
to specify the size of the data stripes (in kilobytes), or you can
leave this option blank and allow ACU to use a default value.
The valid stripe size values depend on the RAID
level.
For RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 1+0 arrays, you
can enter any of the stripe size values listed in the sample
script.
For RAID 5 arrays, the maximum stripe size
in most cases is 256 KB, but old controller models are often
limited to 64 KB.
For RAID 6 arrays, the maximum stripe size
is either 64 KB or 256 KB, depending on the controller.
The default stripe size value depends on the
action mode.
In Configure action mode, the default value
is determined by the RAID level that you specified earlier in the
script. (In some cases, it also depends on the ACU version, the
controller model, and the controller firmware version).
For RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 1+0, the
default value is 128 KB.
For RAID 5, the default value is usually 64
KB, but on some controller models it is 16 KB or 128 KB.
For RAID 6, the default value is usually 16
KB, but on some controller models it is 64 KB or 128 KB.
In Reconfigure action mode, the default
value for this option is the stripe size that is already configured
for the logical drive. If you enter a value that is different from
the existing stripe size, ACU attempts to migrate the logical drive
to the stripe size that you specify. (If you intend to migrate the
logical drive, back up all data before starting the migration
procedure.)
