caching
For write caching, two SPs and an SPS are required. The SP stores
(caches) information temporarily in its local memory, which can save
time when data is written to and/or read from a LUN. Write caching
is mirrored because each SP mirrors the cached information stored by
the other SP.
striping (disk
striping)
The arrangement of a LUN such that reads and writes can occur with
multiple disk modules simultaneously and independently. By
allowing multiple sets of read/write heads to work on the same task
at once, disk striping can enhance performance. You can implement
hardware disk striping by configuring disk modules as a RAID 5
group, RAID 3 group, RAID 0, or RAID 1/0 group. The size of the
stripe is the stripe element size (area on each disk) multiplied by the
number of data disks in the group. For RAID 5, RAID 0, RAID 1/0
groups, you can select the stripe element size. Also see RAID.
