To find fast hard disk drives, display the Auto LUN window and check classes (

Figure 4

on page 13).

Classes indicate disk access speed for parity groups. Fastest parity groups (or groups of fastest disks)

belong to class A. Parity groups in class B are not as fast as parity groups in class A, but are faster than

parity groups in class C. Parity groups in higher classes (such as class A) provide faster disk access

than parity groups in lower classes (such as class C).

Note:

In the storage system documentation, the

terms class and HDD class mean the same thing.

Next, you should choose a low-usage parity group from the fast parity groups. You can find low-usage

volumes in the Auto LUN Window (see

Figure 5

on page 13 below).
