RAID 10 virtual disk (VD). This is required to support creation of
RAID 10 VD with all possible number of physical disk drives. With
this feature the RAID firmware automatically handles the creation
of spans and therefore span information is hidden from end end users.
- PERC 12 GBPS speed: PERC 9 controllers are of 12 gbps
speed and hence can support 12 gbps physical disk drives.
- Auto Import of foreign config: PERC9 controllers
supports enhanced auto import of foreign config without requiring
user interactions. This is ideal in a headless server environment.
This feature enables PERC controller to auto import foreign config,
when there is an existing configuration.
- ControllerBootMode: PERC9 controllers supports setting
controller boot mode. This is ideal in a headless server environment.
This feature enables PERC controller to either wait for user interaction
on error, or to continue boot on error, or headless mode continue
boot on error or boot to headless safe mode. In each boot mode, the
PERC either ignores or takes default action and continues on error.
- 4K sector drives: PERC 9 is introducing support for hard-disk
drives with 4k sector size. The purpose of this feature is to allow
customers to use new 4k sector HDDs, which allow faster data transfer
using fewer commands.
- RAID real-time configuration support: Configuration
jobs are run in real-time, host reboot is not required.
- Changes the controller mode from RAID to HBA or HBA
to RAID.
