The default settings for
Access Bandwidth Weight
and
Storage Efficiency Hint
produce good
volume organizations for each redundancy setting that use some, but not all, drive resources.
If you change these settings (see Table 5-4), the number of members chosen for the volume
depends on the number of drives available when the volume is created. Small settings use a
small number of members. As setting values increase, the number of members increases
slowly. When maximum values are reached, the xStack Storage Array uses all possible drives
in the volume’s pool and the
Available Pool
for a volume. (Spare count is the only limit to
the number of drives obtained from the
Available Pool
.)

Click the
Finish
