6 When creating multiple RAID groups that configure a TPP, repeat Step 3 through Step 5.
• When SSD-Ms with an interface speed of 12Gbit/s are installed in a high-density drive enclosure,
the SSDs operate at 6Gbit/s because the interface speed of the high-density drive enclosure is
6Gbit/s.
• If an error screen appears under the following conditions, check the parameter settings.
- The number of selected drives and the number of member drives of the specified RAID level do
not match
- The number of selected drives and the number of member drives of the existing RAID group do
not match
• To check the number of member drives of the RAID group, click the [RAID Level] link for the
existing RAID group. The drives with the checkbox selected in the displayed screen are the
member of the RAID group.
• Click the [RAID Level] link to change the Controlling CM and configuration drives of the RAID
group.

• The "Name" already exists
• The total value of TPP capacity to be created and existing pool capacity exceeds the maximum
pool capacity for each model
• The drive layout does not satisfy the required conditions
(Refer to "Conditions for the ETERNUS DX8700 S3/DX8900 S3 drive layout" (page 528)
for details.)
• The "Stripe Depth" exceeds the allowable range specified for each RAID level
• Specify the threshold so that "Warning" is the same or larger than "Attention".
• The "Attention" threshold can be omitted. When setting the "Attention" threshold, specify a
threshold while the checkbox is selected.
