• Name: The name of the new stripe group.
• Breadth: The breadth size is the number of file system blocks that
the system reads/writes before moving to the next disk in the
stripe group. This value should be optimized for the major
application that uses the disks. The default setting is 64.
• Available Disks: Disks available to the stripe group. To populate
this list, you must first add disks to the file system by doing the
following:
1) From the SNFS home page, choose Disks from the Config
menu.
2) Select the file system in which the disks reside, and then click
Add.
