Changing the I/O Type
You can specify the virtual disk I/O characteristics for the virtual disks that
you are defining as part of the storage array configuration. The expected I/O
characteristics of the virtual disk is used by the system to indicate an
applicable default virtual disk segment size and dynamic cache read prefetch
setting.
NOTE: The dynamic cache read prefetch setting can be changed later by selecting
Virtual Disk
Change
Cache Settings. You can change the segment size later by
selecting Virtual Disk
Change
Segment Size.
The I/O characteristic types shown below are only presented during the create
virtual disk process.
When you choose one of the virtual disk I/O characteristics, the
corresponding dynamic cache prefetch setting and segment size that are
typically well suited for expected I/O patterns are populated in the Dynamic
cache read prefetch field and the Segment size field.
