[PAPADOPOULOS G.]

Hello,

I have a DL360 G5 with a Smart Array P400i and 6 HDs 146 GB in RAID 5 configuration ,WinSrv 2003 operating system and 7.60 smartstart.
ACU shows that I have Read 100% - Write 0% and I want to change it to Read 50% - Write 50%
Could you please provide me some help/instructions ?

thanks in advanced

smart start it too old, so ACU is to old, also update FW for the controller to the latest

hi

so and you want to change to 50/50 or 25/75 right?
when you can not do that is because either you don't have 512 of BBWC or don't have BBWC upgrade

so you need to buy it

Battery-backed write cache upgrade
383280-B21

512MB Battery-backed write cache upgrade
