IP address Network address for the array network interface.

Note: Each member must have at least one network interface on the

same subnet as the group IP address.

Netmask Address that combines with the IP address to identify the subnet on

which the array network interface resides (default is 255.255.255.0).

Default gateway

(optional)

Network address for the device used to connect subnets and forward

network traffic beyond the local network. A default gateway is needed

only if you want the array network interface to communicate outside

the local network (for example, to allow access to volumes from

computers outside the local network).

Note: The default gateway must be on the same subnet as the array

network interface.

RAID policy RAID level and spare disk drive configuration for the array. The

actual number of RAID sets and spare drives depends on the number

of drives in the array:

• RAID 10 – Striping on top of multiple RAID 1 (mirrored) sets.

• RAID 50 – Striping on top of multiple RAID 5 (distributed-

parity) sets. Each RAID 5 set has one parity drive.

• RAID 5 – Multiple distributed-parity sets.

• RAID 6 – Multiple dual distributed-parity sets.
