When configuring your ServeRAID controller, your server application environment helps determine the controller stripe-unit size setting.
Note: You must use the ServeRAID
Manager in startable-CD mode to change these settings.
| Environment | Stripe-unit size |
| Groupware | 16 KB |

| Decision support database | 16 KB |
| Thin client environments | 8 KB |
| File server (Microsoft® Windows NT®) | 16 KB |
| File server (Novell NetWare) | 16 KB |

Your application environment can also influence the RAID level you select for your server. You must investigate your application's design, especially its input/output behavior, to make your decision.
