Advantage
You can ensure that only a certain type of drive is used in a configuration where multiple drive types exist.
Example
Create one volume using all existing SAS solid state drives, and create one volume using all existing SATA
drives:
Controller=Slot1
Array=A
Drive=*
DriveType=SASSSD
LogicalDrive=1
RAID=0
Array=B
Drive=*
DriveType=SATA
LogicalDrive=2
RAID=0
Size=MAXMBR
You can use this command to limit the size of the volume to 2
32
blocks (2TiB), which is the largest bootable
volume supported on MBR-based systems.
Advantage
You configure the largest possible, bootable volume size regardless of the free space available, provided
that the free space is at least 2TiB.
Example
Create an array with a max sized bootable volume from the 3TB disk at 1I:1:1:
Controller= Slot 1
Array= Next
Drive= 1I:1:1
LogicalDrive=Next
RAID= 0
Size= MAXMBR
SizeBlocks=N
You can use this option to capture the exact number of 512-byte blocks in a volume, and then to recreate the
exact size when playing back a capture.
Advantage
The Size value is rounded to the nearest MB. When you capture the same system repeatedly, this rounding
can result in the eventual loss of a small amount of volume size. This option eliminates the rounding.
Example
Create an array with volume using exactly 20,971,520 512-byte blocks (exactly 10 GiB) using the disk at
1I:1:1:
Controller= Slot 1
Array= Next
Drive= 1I:1:1
