Smart Array E200i default strip size

IS.Danil — Sat, 08 Jan 2011 11:51:07 GMT

Hi, all
Where can I find technical docs or specification about Smart Array E200i default strip size? I try to configure SA e200i in my bl460 server, I select raid 1+0, but what is default strip size?
I read in HP Smart Array E200 Controller
User Guide that I can change strip size only by using ACU. But ACU require installed OS on this server and than rebuild raid strip size online. How can I change strip size before install OS?

Hi,

you can run ACU from the bootable HP Smartstart cdrom.
One more thing; you can also do stripe migration with HP sa controllers.

Goodluck.

Hi Danil,

addition to previous post...

You have to launch Array configuration utility from the smartstart CD... then go to controller settings... you should be able to change the stipe size... default stripe size is 64 bit.

thanks,
Aftab
